A team of detectives has been dispatched to Lokichogio, Turkana county, to investigate the shooting of a senior immigration officer on Sunday morning. Philip Sitienei, 43, was shot dead while he was on his morning run on the Lokichoggio–Nadapal highway. Sitienei had worked in Turkana for more than two years and was well-known to locals and those who regularly use the Kenya-South Sudan border. Police say the attackers had targeted Sitienei, who is not the only resident who runs in the morning on the highway. Inspector General of Police Hilary Mutyambai said the team will investigate the motive as part of the efforts to get the killers.
