Three non-local constructors abducted by suspected Al-Shabaab terrorists in Kenya

Three constructors are missing after they were abducted by suspected Al-Shabaab militants in Mandera County on Wednesday evening.

Police said the victims were constructors who were headed to Lafey town for work when the incident happened between Fino and Sheikh Barrow.

The incident happened about 30 kilometers from Lafey town when a public service vehicle the victims were traveling in was flagged down by armed men.

The victims who are non-locals were new there and it is not clear where they are now, police involved in the operation said. There are also fears the incident was the job of local politics and infighting militia.

Regional Police Boss Rono Bunei said Thursday the victims had not been found. He added they are holding the bus driver and turn boy for grilling over the incident.
