Here Is The RECCE Squad Officer Who Was Killed As He Saved Students During The Garissa Massacre

The Garissa attack that left 147 people dead needed the intervention of the elite RECCE Squad to kill the Al Shabaab insurgents who had held the campus siege for the better part of Thursday last week.

And even as we mourn the death of students in the attack, it is prudent to remember some of the security officers who suffered as they rescued the students.

As the RECCE Squad descended on the campus, one of its members, unfortunately, died in the line of duty.

The government has promised to cater for the funeral fee for the students who perished in the attack but not much is said of Corporal Benard Kipkemoi Tonui, a member of the RECCE squad killed in the attack.

The corporal’s body has been lying at the Kenyatta University Morgue and plans are underway to give him a befitting send-off.

His family has already put up a funeral announcement in one of the dailies and Kenyans are requested to support the family as they plan to bury their kin who died serving our country.
