Police have placed a Sh2million bounty each on seven terror suspects linked to recent attacks in the North Eastern region of the country, particularly in Mandera County.
The suspects are Abdullahi Issack Diyat aka Ubeyd, Ahmed Maalim Bashir, Sharif Sheikh Arab, Andikadir Haret Mohamed Yussuf Kuno and Ahmed Mahat Mohammed aka Jerry.
In a statement to newsrooms, Inspector General of Police Joseph Boinnet has said that there are enough reasons to believe that the seven were instrumental in the planning and execution of attacks at Bisharo Lodge in October 2016, Jabane Hotel attack in January 2017 and Arabia Police camp in February 2017.
Boinnet urged Kenyans to remain vigilant and report any suspicious person or activity to police through toll-free lines 999, 112 and 911 but assured the country that all security agencies are alert to ensure law and order is maintained.
Other suspects include Idriss Ismael Issack and a Mohammed (full name not known.)
