All the victims are non-Muslims. Those who were Muslims were separated from Christians. Police confirmed the deaths and added they were yet to know the motive.
The attack came hours after another group launched an attack on a club in Wajir that left one person dead and 13 wounded.
Police boss David Kimaiyo confirmed the attack and said the attackers escaped. Last week, 28 people, mostly teachers were shot dead after the militants hijacked their bus in Mandera County.
No one has so far claimed responsibility for either of the attacks Monday night.
