Kenya’s Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has appealed to members of the public to volunteer information that may lead to the arrest of five (5) dangerous terror suspects linked to the Alshabab terror network.
The agency said that four of the suspects are responsible for recent attacks against civilians and security forces in Lamu County and within the larger Boni enclave, while one was involved in the Garissa University attack in 2014, which led to the death of 147 innocent people.
They include Ramadhan Hamisi Kufungwa, Issa Abdalla Ahmed, Ahmed Omar Said, Maalim Yussuf Hassan Abdullahi and Maalim Abbas.
