Subukia sub-county OCPD Jackson Ole Chuta has put religious leaders allegedly radicalising youths in the area on notice.
Speaking from his office in Subukia town on Sunday, the OCPD said investigations have been launched into claims that some religious leaders are radicalising youths.
The Subukia OCPD stated that his office has received claims that some youths could be undergoing radicalisation.
He said the government will not tolerate such teachings and that those implicated in the investigations will face the law.
“My office has received information that some religious leaders could be radicalising youths. The law is clear and anyone found conducting such activities will be brought to book,” he said.
Chuta has given all religious leaders in the sub-county 30 days to present their papers and certificates to the police.
He said the move will help vet religious leaders operating churches and mosques in the sub-county.
“We have given 30 days to all pastors, Imams and other leaders running churches and mosques to present their certificates to us,” he said.
Chuta cautioned youths against attending radicalising sessions or being forced to join criminal groups.
He said that criminals will be treated as criminals and that law enforcers in the sub-county are on high alert.
The OCPD urged residents to be on the lookout and report suspicious people to the police.
