Kenya: Somali Militia Men Release Two Kenyans

By Pscu, 31 July 2013

Two Kenyans abducted by Somali Al shaabab insurgents on January 11 2012 were yesterday released following successful negotiations spearheaded by border communities in North Eastern Province.

The two, Edward Yesse Mule, a District Officer in Burder division, and Fredrick Irungu Wainaina Registrar of Persons, Wajir South District, have now rejoined their families and in sound health.

The officers were abducted at Gerile AP border post in Wajir South District. Efforts are being made to secure the release of other Kenyans still held captive by Al-Shaabab militiamen in Somalia.
