Hundreds of Malaba town residents Monday staged protests over insecurity in the region following an attack on five security guards by unknown gang on Sunday night.

Armed with placards, the residents blocked Malaba-Eldoret highway for over three hours paralyzing the busy border town as they engaged police officers in running battle.
