National Police Service spokesman George Kinoti in a statement on Wednesday said security measures have been put in place to forestall any attacks.

“The terror threat remains a reality and we therefore call upon the public to be vigilant, particularly in places with high concentration of people. These include beaches, restaurants and clubs as well as places of worship,” read Kinoti's statement as quoted by Nation.

He added that; "Police officers will be on standby round the clock to receive information from the public".

Kinoti urged the public to report any suspected terror activities to the police via toll free telephone lines 112, 911 and 999.

He warned criminals who may take advantage of the festivities to commit various crimes including cattle rustling.
