Friday, May 2, 2025 - Five elite police officers from the Special Operations Unit (SOU) were killed and eight others injured in an ambush by suspected Al-Shabaab militants in the Rakei area of Boni Forest, Lamu County.
The officers had been tracking suspected militants for two
days following intelligence reports of a planned large-scale attack.
The militants reportedly ambushed the officers as they
advanced deeper into the forest.
Five of the injured officers sustained serious injuries and
were airlifted to Nairobi for specialized treatment.
Sources suggest some of the attackers may also have been
wounded in the exchange.
The attack occurred just 3 kilometers from Lamu town.
Regional Commissioner Koech stated that the militants were
likely attempting to cross into Kenya to carry out attacks.
Security forces have since intensified operations in the
area to track down the miscreants.
