Roba said it has minimised terror attacks in the county that have left many people dead and scores injured.

Nkaissery last month extended the dusk-to-dawn curfew by three months.

But most of the residents have asked the government to review the decision, saying the move will interfere with Muslim prayers which are mostly held between 7pm and 5am.

Muslims have cited Ramadhan calendar which will be released soon.

 Mandera Township MCA Feissal Abdinoor with his colleagues at a press conference said the order has grounded businesses.

“The al Shabaab have continued executing attacks even with the imposed curfew. Equity Bank, police post at Arabia and Safaricom masts have all been raided at night. The government should offer tight security to prevent more attacks,” Abdinoor said.
