Police have stepped up vigilance in the country following last night's terror attack in the UK where 19 people were killed and more than 59 others wounded.
Inspector General of Police Joseph Boinnet says he has ordered officers to be vigilant because terrorism is real, given the threat Kenya faces from Al Shabaab militants. The vigilance include thorough screening of motorists and pedestrians and collection of intelligence.
He says security patrols will be intensified and is urging the public to report anything suspicious to authorities.
The attack occurred during a pop concert by US star Ariana Grande, causing panic in the 21,000-capacity venue after what eyewitnesses described as a 'huge bomb-like bang' in the foyer area at the end of the concert.
