A GSU officer who had been missing for about 17 days in Boni Forest has resurfaced, albeit with injuries. He went missing in the vast forest during an operation but resurfaced on Thursday at Basuba GSU camp looking frail and emaciated. “Officers in charge of the multi-agency operation in Boni Forest are in a good position to respond to this,” Macharia said. In July 2017 a police officer who had gone missing following an al Shabaab raid on Pandanguo police post in Lamu East was found alive after two days. On September 15, 2015, the national government launched Operation Linda Boni to flush out al Shabaab militants hiding inside Boni Forest.
