North-eastern regional commissioner Mohamud Saleh said a contingent of security officers drawn from Kenya Defence Forces (KDF), rural border patrol unit and the regal police were in hot pursuit of the holy warriors.

"They (militants) can run but they cannot hide. We will smoke them out of their hideout," Saleh told news hounds.

He assured local residents that security agencies were "in control of the situation" and urged them to provide relevant information that will help nab the holy warriors.

The al-Shabaab fighters had earlier been spotted in Boni forest, Taqsiley and Walkon areas in Ijara sub-county, Garissa county in northeastern Kenya.
