Two Mpeketoni residents in Lamu county are nursing serious injuries after they were allegedly tortured by security officers in Lango la Simba area on December 21. All this while, the security officers kept demanding that they produce ‘the guns’. Muhuri rapid response officer Francis Auma said security officers in Lamu and Tana River have been harassing residents in the name of fighting al Shabaab. Every now and then we get reports of security officers torturing residents. He said while Lamu residents are frequently harassed, elected politicians do nothing about it.
