Last week, residents broke into the grounds where oil from Ngamia 8 oil well in Turkana are stored and prevented trucks transporting the oil to Mombasa from leaving the site.

They were protesting against renewed hostilities in the area prone to insecurity. Perhaps to catch the eye of top Government officials including President Uhuru Kenyatta, the locals said nothing will persuade them otherwise while promising a long-drawn-out campaign against their security challenges.
