One person was confirmed dead while three others sustained injuries of various degrees. Speaking on the incident, Marsabit County Commissioner, Paul Rotich, disclosed that the vehicle developed mechanical problems and occupants were trying to fix it when they were ambushed by the armed assailants.
"The vehicle had been hired by a certain telecommunication company and was en route to Baluk for fieldwork," Rotich stated.
Marsabit, which is one of the country's North-most regions, is prone to attacks by people believed to be Al Shabaab militia or their sympathizers.
Banditry attacks of such nature are a common course with the government moving in to beef up security in the volatile region.
The government has asked citizens to take caution, observing that terrorism remained a global threat and that most countries are on high alert.
"We urge all citizens to be vigilant while in places with high human traffic and to promptly report any suspicious character, behaviour, movement or unattended parcels to the nearest police officer or a police station."
