Three terror suspects who fled from the Kamiti Maximum Security Prison have been apprehended in a Kitui County settlement.
Earlier this week, security officials in Kitui were put on high alert when locals reported seeing the three fugitive terrorists.
On Thursday morning, Kitui County police commander Leah Kithei reported that all security agencies in the region had been activated, including chiefs and their assistants.
Ms Kithei told Nation.Africa that the information had also been shared with peers in neighboring Tana River and Garissa counties.
“We’ll absolutely get them if they’re the ones. It’ll only be a question of time.”
Locals reported spotting the three, whom they suspected to be the wanted terror convicts who escaped jail on Sunday night, at Malalani shopping centre in the expansive county.
Residents said the three, who looked exhausted and thirsty, bought a lot of milk, bottled water, bread and biscuits from local shops and paid by cash.
