At least two people were shot and killed in an attack in a village in Merti, Isiolo County.
Police said they were called to a village in the Kilisa area following an attack by gunmen and recovered the bodies of Idris Yussuf Malicha, 35 and Ibrahim Jilo, 32.
The attackers escaped with an unknown number of livestock after the Friday October 17 attack.
Police said the bodies were released to the families for burial even as they investigate the incident.
In the Oldonyiro area in the same county, two people were shot and injured by bandits who were on the run.
The men armed with AK47 rifles attacked motorists in the Kipsing area.
The gunmen also escaped with an unknown amount of money and other valuables from the victims.
The victims were taken to hospital in stable condition, police said.
This is the latest such an attack amid ongoing operations targeting banditry.
The area is among those under Operation Maliza Uhalifu aimed at dealing with bandits.
The operation has managed to contain crime in the area and other counties amid persistence.
The operation targets Baringo, West Pokot, Turkana, Samburu, Marsabit, Meru and Isiolo counties.
Besides retributive reaction, strategic investment and sustainable development have also taken a prominent place among the government’s planned crime control interventions for Kenya’s Northern frontier and the Kerio Valley belt.
