Two gunmen seized cash estimated at Sh42 million after a 10-minute robbery at an airstrip in Moyale, abetted by numerous security lapses, including absence of armed escort to receive the money.

The Cessna fixed-wing aircraft landed at Odha Airstrip in the border town at 1pm on Wednesday, with a pilot, co-pilot and private security official escorting the consignment, which included new Sh1,000 notes for a local Equity Bank branch.
