One person is reported to have lost his life while a dozen others were injured following an inter-clan conflict over livestock and pasture in Tana River County.
The incident happened at Vango village in Madogo area.
During the conflict, several houses were razed to the ground before police could intervene and cool down the tension.
Bangali deputy county commissioner Joseph Kipkorir told The Kenya Times that perpetrators will be held accountable.
“I want to assure you that we are going to arrest all those who participated in these actions and take them to court. We had given the elders enough time to solve these conflicts in their council,” Kipkorir said.

“I want to ask my people in Madogo to live in peace and report to police those who are hell-bent to cause chaos so that we continue co-existing as we always have,” Dubow said.
