Dukana Deputy County Commissioner who confirmed the incident urged the Dukana residents to relocate to where the government can provide security due to the escalating tension and fear of retaliatory attacks from neighbouring Ethiopia.

Tension remains high as the villagers relocated on Saturday to safer grounds.
However, Marsabit Governor Mohamud Ali has called for peace along the border and said the killing of the herder sparked a cycle of revenge, leading to the death of five people and forcing others to flee for safety.
"These were not just statistics, they were members of our community, going about their daily lives," he decried.

Speaking at the Marsabit county headquarters, the governor said the Marsabit peace team in collaboration with county security officials were engaged in cross-border discussions with their Ethiopian counterparts.
"These discussions aim to uncover the root causes of violence and to coordinate efforts to restore peace in the region," he said.
Mohamud appealed to the communities of Marsabit County to stand firm against efforts to undermine their unity and cohesion.
