"This was an intelligence-led operation carried out in collaboration with the Special Operations Group (SOG), a multi-agency unit. We managed to thwart the terrorists plan, foiling it at the planning stage. From our initial investigations, the plan was to target densely populated areas in Nairobi during the holy month of Ramadhan. We must remain vigilant, and we appeal to the general public to volunteer information on anything that may threaten the peace should they notice anything suspicious."

MAJOR TERROR ATTACK FOILED!
Plans by the terrorist group Al-Shabaab to kill many Kenyans in Nairobi have once again been foiled by the intelligence agency.

Months of surveillance and covert intelligence gathering on a terror network operating within the Dadaab refugee camps led to the recovery of arms and ammunition including 600 bullets, pistols, grenades, explosives, and drugs all destined for targets in Nairobi.

The terrorists, who had planned to carry out the attack during the month of Ramadhan, were also exploring possibilities of kidnapping foreigners and hijacking vehicles.

Nairobi remains safe because of the brave young men and women in our security agencies who spend long hours tracking down dangerous terrorists and criminals.

Kenya's counterterrorism actors registered another successful win after the conviction of Abdul Najib Mohamed previously George Oluoch Awiti, who was sentenced by Siaya Principal Magistrate to serve 20years in prison for involvement in terrorism activities.

The prosecution team presented overwhelming evidence, including testimonies from three key witnesses and forensic and deep analysis of various items found in Awiti's possession.

The evidence presented before the Magistrate included both audio and videos that encouraged and celebrated the killing of innocent civilians and the destruction of properties and incited disobedience against the Kenyan Government. The extremist materials also promised rewards for those engaging in such acts. The evidence was instrumental in securing the conviction.
