Police spokesman, Mr Charles Owino, advised citizens to be extra vigilant as new intelligence reports indicated that the militants have sneaked into the towns of Mandera, Garissa and Wajir.
"Following sustained pressure by our gallant soldiers in Somalia, we have intelligence that they are sneaking into our northern towns."
"We urge Kenyans at large to be alert and identify strangers moving into their villages and towns and report them to the police or any security agency," added Mr Owino.
