Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki has imposed a 3–day dusk to dawn curfew in Chakama ranch where Shakahola village is located.
The CS has also banned all public gatherings, processions or movement either alone or as a group during the period of curfew into and out of Chakama Ranch.
He said this is to pave the way for a major security operation in which the GSU has been roped in.
In a statement on Wednesday, Kindiki declared the region as a “disturbed area’ and a ‘crime scene’.
“The area is an active security operation zone and no access to it by the public shall be permitted effective today April 26, except as may be permitted by the operation Commander and/or until these orders are vacated,” the CS said.
This comes in the wake of the religious cult exemplifying religion turned rogue, as homicide detectives have exhumed 90 bodies at the expansive 800-acre ranch in Shakahola, Kilifi county.
Kindiki described the cult leader Paul Mackenzie and his accomplices as terrorists and vowed that they would face the full force of the law.
