Kindiki Declares 12 Areas Disturbed & Dangerous[LIST]
Kindiki Declares 12 Areas in Tana River County as “dangerous and security disturbed” areas, following clashes that have claimed the lives of 14 people in the past two weeks.
Kindiki’s directive took effect on Friday, October 11, underscoring the growing threat to peace and stability in this volatile region.
The gazetted areas cut across two sub-counties—Bangale and Tana North—where tensions have boiled over into violent skirmishes. This declaration will remain in force for the next 30 days.
Affected areas include locations of Madogo, Areri, Saka, Sala, Mororo, and Mbalambala in Bangale Sub-County, alongside Hirimani, Hosingo, Dukanotu, Chewele, Nanighi, and Bura in Tana North Sub-County.
The inspector general of Police, Douglas Kanja, therefore ordered residents to hand over any firearms they may possess, promising that the weapons would be returned once the security notice expires.
“Residents in the declared zones are ordered to surrender all firearms immediately, and this must be done at the nearest police station or administrative offices during the day,” his notice reads
