Security agents are grappling with the resurgence of Al-Shabaab attacks in Lamu County.
The militants have turned the county into a playground, often launching explosives attacks on government installations, security personnel, locals and motorists, killing, maiming and destroying property.
The terrorists have been getting security personnel involved in Operation Linda Boni unawares and left many dead.
Between May and November 2017, more than 30 police officers were killed in different attacks by the terror group.
