A court in Kiambu, which is dedicated to counter-terrorism cases, has allowed the state to detain three terror convicts, who had escaped from Kamiti Maximum Security Prison on November 14, for 10 days.

At the same time, the court has allowed the prosecution to transfer the trio from Kamiti Maximum Prison to the Anti-terrorism Police Unit (ATPU) headquarters in Nairobi for security reasons and to prevent those implicated in their escape from interfering with both the evidence and investigations.
