President Uhuru Kenyatta on Saturday fired warning shots at the terrorist in the country, hours after Wajir bus attack.
In one of the latest Al-Shabaab attacks in the country, at least eight people were killed on Friday evening on their way to Mandera.
The incident took place at Kutulo in Wajir North. Among those who died were seven police officers who were reporting back to work.
Wajir County Commissioner Loyford Kibaara said the officers, who belong to the Anti-Stock Theft Unit (ASTU), were on their way back to work when the Medina bus was ambushed.
In a statement through State House spokesperson Kanze Dena, Uhuru said, "Government will not relent in its ruthless crackdown on criminal elements including suspected terrorists in its solemn duty to safeguard the lives and property of Kenyans."
According to Dena, Uhuru warned that the security forces will not leave anything to chances, adding that the government will ensure terrorists are eliminated.
"The Head of State further sends a strong warning and reminder to misguided elements operating within and outside of our national borders and whose actions harm innocent Kenyans that no effort will be spared in neutralizing the threat," Dena added.
During a military pass out parade last week at Kenya Military Academy, Uhuru insisted that Kenya Defence Forces team will remain in Somalia until peace is achieved.
