The government has assured that it is doing whatever is possible to ensure the abducted Mandera chiefs are brought back home.

It is more than one month since the five chiefs and a girl were seized on February 3 by Al Shabaab militants at Iresuki area, some 23 kilometres from Alwak where they were going to join the Deputy County Commissioner en route to Mandera town ahead of President William Ruto's tour.

The chiefs are Mohamed Adawa, Mohamed Hassan, Abdi Hassan, Mohamed Noor Hache and assistant chief Ibrahim Gabow.

Since being abducted, the government has never given an update on what is being done to free them.
