Kenya on high alert, 3 caught trying to enter army base

Three people were arrested Sunday after they attempted to break into a British Army base in Nanyuki.

Rift Valley Regional Commissioner George Natembeya who confirmed the Sunday evening arrests, said the suspects are being interrogated by detectives.

“They tried to force their way there but they could not. So they were tracked down. They just had cameras I think but we are still interrogating them to find out the truth,” Mr Natembeya said by phone.

The army base is said to have circulated the footage with local law enforcers who tracked down the suspects.

They were arrested at around 5pm near Nanyuki Police Station, a few metres from the BATUK army base.

Police are yet to release identity of the arrested suspects.
