Kenya: Police to Guard Kisumu Churches During Mass

Two police officers will man each church in Kisumu East to stop any terror attacks. The churches will however have to buy metal detectors to screen all worshippers before the Sunday mass. The district's top security team yesterday announced they will assign the officers to guard all churches especially during the Sunday services.

The officers will include AP and regular police, according to the district security chairman. Willy Cheboi said they had reached the decision after a meeting with clerics and the business community.
