What you need to know:

  • Already, police have raided a little known mosque on the outskirts of Nanyuki Town and arrested 40 worshippers.
  • They have since been handed over to the regional offices of the ATPU in neighbouring Isiolo County.
  • Those released were aged below 18 and were from outside Laikipia County.

Nanyuki is the focus of a war on terror, as detectives rounded-up suspects ahead of a visit on Sunday by Britain's Prince William to British forces based in the town.

The crackdown has targeted a number of suspects, including radicalised youth.
