Wajir Governor Ahmed Abdullahi has asked security agents to respect the rule of law amid the war against terrorism.
He warned against police brutality after images of an alleged incident in Garissa surfaced online over the weekend.
Abdullahi said reports of extrajudicial killings and enforced disappearances are “very disturbing and unfortunate”.
“The Wagalla massacre and other atrocities that were committed by security agents in Wajir are still fresh in the minds of the people,” he said.
“We therefore do not want further actions that will make our people view our security agents as the perpetrators of terror and inhumane acts."
Speaking during Madaraka Day celebrations in Wajir on Monday, he said anyone arrested on suspicion of involvement in terror should face due process.
