Police have warned the public against falling victim of a fake terror alert message circulating on social media platforms.
Addressing journalists today, Police spokesperson Fred Enanga said they have not issued any terror alert in the wake of the attack in Nairobi last week, asking the public to disregard the purpoted terror alert.
“We have noted with serious concern falsified terror alerts warning of a terror attack two weeks from the Nairobi attack.We want to disregard such fake terror alerts which are meant to give publicity and credit to terrorists. The country has no specific threats,”Enanga said on Monday morning.
He explained that the circulating fake alerts claim a lady under the names Violet Kemunto also known as Khadija, who is alleged to be wanted by the Kenyan police, entered Uganda.
Enanga however said despite any circumstances, security agencies remain on alert to avert any attack by terrorists, caling on Ugandans to remain calm and go about their businesses normally.
Last week five attackers including a suicide bomber and four gunmen walked into Dusit D2 hotel and business complex in Nairobi before killing at least 14 people but the al-shabaab terrorists were also put out of action by Kenya’s security.
