The three have been identified as Arafat Kyalo Masai, Juma Waziri and Salim Mohamed Ahmed who are said to be armed and dangerous.
According to the police report, two of them were among Shabaab operatives believed to have escaped a police dragnet in Ng’ombeni, Kwale County, in March last year.
The group of operatives, which Waziri and Ahmed were said to belong to, had been terrorising residents of Likoni in Mombasa and Kwale County.
Hundreds of Kenyan youth have joined the Al-Qaeda affiliate, Al-Shabaab fighters in Somalia. The group in return has deployed the same youth to wage attacks in Kenyan coastal areas and Northeastern Kenya.
Majority of these attacks in Kenya have targeted non-Somali people and Christians.
