NAIROBI (Halbeeg News) – Kenyan police have issued an alert urging the public to help the law enforcement agencies to arrest three terror suspects.
The statement on Sunday called for the cooperation in providing information that will lead to the arrest of three wanted terror suspects behind insecurity in Kenya.
Anthony Munga, Kenya’s National Police Service’s deputy spokesman, has displayed photos of the suspects whom he said could be armed and dangerous and may cause harm to the public and urged the three suspects to surrender themselves.
“We urge those who suspect that their relatives or acquaintances could have joined jihadi groups, are planning to travel to jihadi theatres, or have returned from countries known to harbour jihadists to report to the nearest police station immediately,” Munga said in a statement issued in Nairobi.
Munga who did not provide names of the wanted terror suspects said the police have already started taking legal action on individuals who have failed to report on their associates and relatives who have joined jihadi organisations.
Since 2011 when Kenya sent its troops Somalia to fight against al-Shabaab fighters, the country suffered deadly attacks that claimed lives of hundred people.
Early this year, several fighters from the group stormed a well-known hotel in the capital, Nairobi, killing over 22 people before Kenyan forces concluded the attacks.
