Detectives have today arrested a 46 year old terror suspect in Nakuru town.

Confirming the arrest, DCI Mr David Wangai has said the suspect, (name withheld) was caught photographing the Nakuru law courts.

Mr. Wangai has said that the suspect who is of Somali origin is being investigated as his intentions of taking the photos is unknown.

"We are investigating the suspect so as to know why he was taking the photos," he said.

Mr. Wangai went on to say that they are in process of handing over the suspect to the Anti-terrorism police unit (ATPU) in Eldoret for interrogations.

Early last month, Police in Narok arrested a middle aged man on their terror watch, hours before Madaraka Day fete was marked in the town.

The suspect who has been in Somali for over two years was arrested as he tried to sneak into the stadium and two identification cards recovered from him.

Following the incident, security in and around the stadium was heightened with the press at one time barred from accessing their facility.
