Meanwhile in Lamu county, security agencies on Saturday night managed to successfully fight off suspected AL Shabaab militants after a heavy gunfire.

The terrorists had tried to attack Pandanguo village in Lamu, County.

Lamu County commissioner Irungu Macharia  confirmed the reports.

"Yes. It's true. There were gunshots in Pandanguo Village overnight. NPR officers in the village claimed to have spotted suspicious people in a nearby bush, forcing them to shoot randomly. KDF and GSU responded immediately and combed the area. Nothing was spotted. So far the area is cool and there is no need for alarm. I urge Pandanguo residents not to vacate their village since their security is guaranteed," said Mr Macharia.
