The attack comes in the wake of increasing attacks in the North Eastern region.
These attacks are said to have been made by Al-Shabaab militia, a move that led to the government suspending the reopening of the Kenya-Somali border.
Interior CS Kithure Kindiki has assured that the government will deal with the Al-Shabaab firmly until they are completely vanquished.
Barely two weeks ago, Police killed 20 al-Shabaab militia in an attack that saw some weapons recovered.
But since then, the Al-Shabaab have been conducting pockets of retaliatory attacks in Lamu and North Eastern regions.
