After driving six kilometres from Tarbaj town towards Mandera, Mr Abdulrahim Hassan, a bus driver, heard the sound of gunfire and saw armed men emerging from the bush.

Knowing the security situation in the area, Mr Hassan decided to stop his 60-passenger bus, only to realise that the armed men were members of the Al-Shabaab terror group on a mission.
