TERROR SUSPECT NABBED AND A CACHE OF WEAPONS RECOVERED IN LAMU

In one of our latest wins on the war on terror General Service Unit (GSU) personnel arrested a suspected Alshabaab militia and recovered a cache of weapons within Milimani area, Lamu County on Sunday.

The arrest happened following an intelligence-led operation to flush out remnants of Alshabaab militants hiding in Boni forest.

The suspect is reportedly part of a group of other militants believed to have staged a foiled attack on an NPS camp recently. He had a visible suspected-gun-inflicted wound on the left leg above the ankle allegedly sustained in the previous foiled attack.

During the meticulous operation, the officers recovered 1 RPG launcher, 1 RPG heat warhead, 1 booster, and 2 booster housing.

The suspect is in custody as security teams are out to pursue his accomplices believed to be holed up in the Boni forest.
