Police have neutralized suspected terrorists who were attempting to cross the border, securing the area and preventing a potential security threat.

In a statement on Sunday, November 30, the Counter Terrorism Policing (CTP) said the special teams manning the border neutralized the militants.

CTP said Kenyan security officers are superior and will always win against the enemies.

“A group of terrorists attempted to infiltrate our border. Our Special teams manning our border taught them a lesson. Our superior firepower and committed officers will always win against the enemies of our nation,” CTP said.

This comes weeks after the Elite Special Operations Group (SOG) prevented another attempted terrorist attack.
