The Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR) has strongly condemned alleged human rights violations during the ongoing security operation dubbed ‘Operation Ondoa Jangili’ in Isiolo and Marsabit counties. The operation, which began on February 3, 2025, has been marred by reports of extrajudicial killings, enforced disappearances, torture, and intimidation of civilians.

In a statement released on March 4, 2025, KNCHR expressed deep concern over the reported incidents, stating that while the fight against insecurity is crucial, it must not come at the expense of human rights.

Among the most troubling reports is the fatal shooting of Galgalo Abkul Boru on February 23. According to the commission, Boru was a passenger on a boda boda when police on patrol opened fire, killing him and injuring the rider.

KNCHR also highlighted the abduction of seven men from three different locations, with one, Idris Edin, still missing. The watchdog further reported cases of torture, including the assault of a local chief and a medic, as well as the beating of ten locals on March 3.

The commission noted that police officers allegedly used intimidation tactics, including arresting a five-year-old boy to coerce his father into surrendering. Additionally, about 150 goats and several motorbikes were confiscated, violating property rights.

KNCHR is calling for an independent investigation into the operation, urging the Independent Police Oversight Authority (IPOA) to probe the alleged abuses.

“We urge the government to reaffirm its commitment to human rights, ensuring that all individuals are treated with dignity and respect, regardless of the circumstances,” said Dr. Raymond Nyeris, Vice Chairperson of KNCHR.

The commission further demanded that officers involved be held accountable and that affected families receive psychological support and legal aid.
