Three terrorism suspects in Kenya escape prison - police

Three terrorism suspects escaped a maximum security prison in the Kenyan capital early on Monday, Kenya's Directorate of Criminal Investigations said in a statement.

One of the escapees is Mohamed Ali Abikar, who was arrested over a 2015 attack on Garissa University that killed 148 people, mostly students.

Police have offered a 60 million Kenyan shilling ($536,000) reward for information that could lead to the suspects recapture.

($1 = 111.8500 Kenyan shillings)
