More than 300 cases of terror-related killings and kidnappings have been recorded in the Coast region in the last three years.

A report by the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR) released in Mombasa yesterday indicates that those kidnapped in the region between 2013 and 2016 were all said to be “connected or sympathetic to terrorist groups”.
