June 21, 2020 - In a bid to enhance security in Northern Kenya, residents are being urged to come forward with information on suspected Al-Shabaab operatives.
North Eastern Regional Commissioner Nicodemus Ndalana has called on the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity, assuring them that their identity will be kept confidential.
Speaking at an event where he awarded certificates of commendation to security personnel who neutralized Al-Shabaab militants, Ndalana emphasized the importance of information in combating terrorism.
He noted that the lack of information would hinder efforts to restore security in the region, which has suffered numerous attacks orchestrated by the Somali-based terror group.
Ndalana also issued a stern warning to security agents suspected of collaborating with Al-Shabaab, urging them to desist from such activities.
"Information is key in flushing out terror gangs, and we assure residents that their identity will be treated with the utmost confidentiality," Ndalana said.
