Eyewitnesses have confirmed that Muslim passengers shielded Christians in the Mandera-bound bus that was attacked by suspected Al-Shabaab militants on Monday morning.

Mandera Governor Ali Roba who spoke to the Nation by phone from outside the country said the local passengers stood together with the non-locals refusing to be separated and dared the attackers to kill everyone or leave them alone.

The 7am attack happened between Dabacity and Borehole II, Deputy County Commissioner Julius Otieno said.
