Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Police officers on Saturday, November 13 arrested a middle-aged man at the Lang’ata shopping centre on suspicions of being a terrorist.<\/p>\n

The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) narrated how the man approached a police officer on duty along the busy Lang’ata Road seeking confidential information on the operations of a popular restaurant in the area.<\/p>\n

According to the DCI, the suspect sought to know on which day of the week the popular joint hosts the largest number of patrons.<\/p>\n

The officer was perplexed by the questions from the suspect, who posed as an ordinary civilian seeking general information.<\/p>\n

When the officer hesitated to respond, the suspect offered a cash reward of Ksh180,000 in exchange for the information that was not forthcoming.<\/p>\n

“Langata based crime busters early today (Saturday) morning arrested a terror suspect at around 2am. The suspect approached a police officer on patrol and cunningly sought information from him that he (the officer) found suspicious.”<\/p>\n

“The suspect sought to know on which day of the week a popular joint along Langata Road, hosts the largest number of patrons,” the statement read.<\/p>\n

During his arrest, officers recovered USD1,396 (approximately Ksh156,421 based on the current exchange rates) from the suspect who is currently being grilled by anti-terror detectives.<\/p>\n

The arrest comes just days after the United States Department of State announced a reward of up to Ksh669 million for information leading to the arrest of four wanted Al Shabaab leaders.<\/p>\n

In a statement by the Rewards For Justice, the four wanted terrorists to include the ring leader Abu Ubadiah, a commander identified as Mahad Karate, Fuad Mohamed Khalaf who was named as a financial facilitator, and Jafar, who is said to be the facilitator and operational planner.<\/p>\n

According to the US State Department, the four are wanted in connection to attacks in Kenya, Somalia and other countries in the region.<\/p>\n

“The rewards of up to USD6 million for information on Al Shabaab leaders who threaten Kenya and the region\u2019s peace and security,” the statement read in part.<\/p>\n

Kenyans and Somali nationals were asked to call or text the Rewards For Justice via SMS, Signal, Viber, or WhatsApp should they have information on the four fugitives through +254-718-712-366 (Kenya) and +252-610-703-446 (Somalia).<\/p>\n
