Detectives from DCI Kilimani in conjunction with DCI Nairobi Regional Office have arrested three suspects believed to be behind the unlawful storming into All Saints Cathedral where a sitting was interrupted by the attackers.
George Omondi Otieno, Effenburg Wanyama Khisa, and Melvin Alumasa Bwani have been arrested in Nairobi following an intelligence led operation.
A red Boxer motorcycle KMFH 161S believed to be the motor used in the attack and mobile phones have been recovered and seized for forensic investigation.
