County Commissioner Abdrizak Jaldesa ordered the herders to vacate the town with immediate effect, failure to which their livestock would be confiscated.
He said the move was aimed at restoring peace in the area.
Jaldesa said grazing livestock in the area was the source of conflict among herders from two communities in the area.
