Kenyan security agencies have been put on high alert after about
50 heavily-armed Ethiopian soldiers and police officers crossed the
border and reportedly took over a police station.
Police
said the incident at Illeret Police Station in North Horr came just a
week after surveyors had completed demarcating the Kenya-Ethiopia
border.
Armed with AK47 rifles, the Ethiopians arrived
in 10 vehicles. They disembarked and took strategic positions around the
police station.
They inspected the area and took photos of the area, which is 16 kilometres from the border.
They
are said to have gone to inspect the border and a lake. They, however,
admitted that the Kenyan Government was not aware of their presence. But
they vowed to return.
