Hundreds of people have been holding a candle - lit vigil in Kenya’s capital, Nairobi to remember the victims of last week’s attack at Garissa University College by al – Shabab gunmen.
A temporary shrine of crosses and candles has been set up and photos of the 148 victims of the group’s deadliest attack in Kenya are on show. Earlier, about two thousand 500 people marched in Garissa against the Somali militants.
Kenya has frozen the accounts of 86 people thought to be funding al – Shabab. Meanwhile, five Kenyans appeared in court in Nairobi on Tuesday for suspected links with the attackers.
The court agreed to the prosecution’s request to detain them for another 30 days, while police investigate whether they supplied weapons to the attackers.
Al – Shabab has its headquarters in Somalia, but it has stepped up attacks in Kenya in recent years.
