Security agencies have stepped up border surveillance to prevent Somalia-based militant group Al-Shabaab from gaining access into the country as the Somali forces intensify its offensive against the Al-Qaeda linked terror outfit.

Interior Cabinet Secretary Kindiki Kithure said Monday that the current crack down on Al-Shabaab terror cells in Somalia which is spearheaded by local community leaders with the support of the Federal Government of Somalia has significantly weakened this militant group.

The Interior CS stated that they have stepped up our border patrols to prevent the proliferation of illicit arms, illicit drugs.

“Our security agencies are alert to ensure that these militants do not cross into our territory to keep them at bay now that this terror group is its weakest,” he said.

Kindiki said that security agencies have improved on intelligence gathering to stay several steps ahead of the terrorists.

“We are always aware that terrorists only need one lucky break to hurt our Country and inflict us with pain. We must always strike first and fast to neutralise them and obliterate their nefarious networks,” he said.
