The Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) has urged communities in terror-prone areas to share information after a suspected Al-Shabaab attack in Boni Forest, Lamu County.

The incident occurred when the vehicle the KDF officers were traveling on ran over an Improvised Explosive Device along the Milimani Baure road in Lamu County.

According to KDF, the soldiers were on routine patrol before the incident.

As a result, KDF has condemned the incident, calling on residents to collaborate with security agencies to flush out the criminal elements.

“KDF calls upon the residents to share information with the security agencies on these criminal elements who lurk in their communities,” KDF said.
