The Ministry of the Interior has imposed an immediate restriction on the use of motorbikes in Binduri and surrounding communities, following a deadly attack on a military patrol team in the area.
In a statement, the Ministry said the directive is part of heightened security measures aimed at restoring calm, protecting lives and property, and supporting ongoing operations by security agencies. Authorities warn that anyone who violates the restriction will be arrested and prosecuted.
“In view of the security situation, the restriction is a necessary measure to maintain law and order, protect lives and properties, and support ongoing security operations in the area,” the statement noted.

Authorities say the measure forms part of broader efforts to enhance security and prevent further escalation of tensions in the affected communities.
