All the 60 terrorists involved in the Tuesday Lamu attack have been killed, Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki has said.
Kindiki said the 60 attackers have all been neutralised by security officers in an operation that ended this morning.
"All the people who attacked our people yesterday have been neutralised, all of them," Kindiki told MPs on Tuesday.
However, The Star could not independently verify what the minister stated during the proceedings.
The attackers believed to be members of al Shabaab attacked four buses carrying at least 200 passengers at the intersection of Lamu and Tana River counties.
The operation, he said, was made possible due to the frequent patrols by elite security officers along the Lamu/Garsen road.
"The attackers were very many and we have been able to neutralise all of them," he said.
The CS spoke on Wednesday when he appeared before the National Assembly Education committee over the security of non-local teachers in Northern Kenya.
