SHOCKING! 150+ Al-Shabaab Militants Storm Lamu Village, Preach Terror & Vanish Into Boni Forest 🚨

 

In a chilling turn of events, TAARIFA TV has received exclusive updates on a daring raid by over 150 heavily armed Al-Shabaab militants on Saturday, March 15, 2025, in Mangai village, deep within the Boni Forest region of Lamu County. 🌍🇰🇪

The Raid 🔧🔫

At around 6 p.m., as villagers prepared for evening prayers and to break their fast, the militants launched a coordinated entry into the area. Witnesses recount that the attackers split into two groups: one probed the Border Patrol Unit (BPU) Mangai camp,

while the other infiltrated the village, seeking local leaders and National Police Reservists (NPRs). 🥵🌿🔪

Radical Preaching and Date Distribution 📏🌿

Instead of immediate violence, the operatives delivered radical sermons to the villagers for about 30 minutes and distributed date fruits — a symbolic gesture during Ramadan. The militants then retreated back into the dense Boni Forest, leaving no casualties but intensifying fear and tension in the region. 🚫🕴️

Government Response 🚓👮‍♂️

Lamu County Commissioner Wesley Koech confirmed the incident and assured residents that security has been reinforced in Mangai and surrounding areas. He urged locals to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities to help neutralize the militant threat. 🛡️💬

The Bigger Picture 📊📑

This incident is a stark reminder of the persistent insecurity in the Boni Forest region,

which has long been a hideout for Al-Shabaab militants. The Kenyan government, in collaboration with security agencies, continues its efforts to eliminate extremism and protect citizens from further incursions. 🌌🔒
