The National Police Service has reacted to reports of an impending terrorist attack being spread on social media platforms.
In a tweet on Sunday, the law enforcement agency urged members of the public to ignore the alerts, terming them fake.
"BE INFORMED THAT TERROR ALERTS SPREADING ON SOCIAL MEDIA ARE FAKE," the National Police Service tweet read.
Alerts were made earlier in the day that the Somalia-based group Al-Shabaab was set to attack one of the buses plying the North Eastern route, alerts that the police has now said are fake.
The fake alerts come just days after the dreaded group staged a number of attacks in the country, two in Lamu County and another one in Garissa County at a public primary school that left a number of students dead.
Kenya has suffered many terrorist attacks in the past and any alert of an impending attack is bound to strike fear in the hearts of the Kenyan public.
President Uhuru Kenyatta has long maintained that Kenya will not pull its troops out of Somalia, a key demand of the terrorist group, until Al-Shabaab is defeated.
The group's attack on the Garissa University College that led to the deaths of at least 147 people ranks as one of the biggest attacks in Kenya.
