Police are currently combing Liboi area in Garissa county after an IED exploded within the area.
According to the police, a herder signalled the police of some strange activity in the area.
"Dubow Ali was grazing his livestock along Kulan-Liboi road at Wardeglow when he saw electric cables/ wires protruding from the surface of the main road,” police said.
Police said a security team from Liboi police station visited the scene and established that there were two IEDs planted in the middle of the road.
The IEDs have since been destroyed by explosive experts.
But in a turn of events, former National Assembly deputy Speaker Farah Maalim claimed he escaped death narrowly after he evaded an improvised explosive device planted on the Liboi road.
He was on a campaign trail in Garissa County on Thursday, July 28.
Maalim claimed that the device targeted his convoy, which was headed to the Liboi region.
Security officers who gathered intelligence about the planted IED explosive halted the motorcade from triggering the device.
Our hawk eyed security officers got intelligence info of IED’s planted in my campaign route to liboi. They halted my convoy, rerouted us to safe detour & engaged services of bomb disposal experts. They then detonated the IED’s with ease. My profound gratitude to our officers. pic.twitter.com/oAcCV9D4D6
