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.
