KDF Discover Key Al Shabaab Hideouts Inside Boni Forest
|
[RADIOSHABELLE] Officers conducting the ongoing multi-agency security Operation Linda Boni in Lamu county have discovered and flattened three key al-Shabaab
...  the Islamic version of the old Somali warlord...
hideouts at Lango la Simba in Witu Division of Lamu West.
According to Linda Boni Operation Director Joseph Kanyiri who was speaking during a security meeting at Mahrus Hotel in Lamu Island on Sunday, September 10, the hideouts were discovered and destroyed by Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) soldiers and National Police Service officers who are manning the area.
He added that the hideouts were being used by the hard boyz as a base to launch attacks in the area especially on vehicles plying the Lamu-Gamba-Garsen road.
It is the same place the hard boyz ambush or plant IEDs on the roads and kill passengers and motorists.
Last month, three Tana River County officials died after their vehicle was torched by suspected al-Shabaab hard boyz in the same area that is also home to the Nyongoro and Gamba.
The same day five passengers aboard a Raha bus from Malindi to Kipini were maimed when the bus was sprayed with bullets by suspected bad boys.
Just recently, two people died in back to back attacks in the area after a Toyota Probox car and a lorry were sprayed with bullets by the bad boys.
Kanyiri now says he is confident that the identification and destruction of the three hideouts this week will help bring the much-needed peace and stability in the area.
