One cop was killed, while another is currently recovering at the hospital where he was transferred by his colleagues who responded to their distress calls.
According to IPOA the cruel crime was committed against the Galmagalla Police Station vehicle in Bura East Subcounty, Garissa County.
IPOA denounced the horrible conduct in a statement issued on Thursday, December 22, calling it cowardly and barbaric.
According to the local Deputy County Commissioner, the vehicle missed a roadside explosion before being hit by a rocket-propelled grenade.
