The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has published the names and photos of thirty-five wanted terror suspects linked to Al-Shabaab.
In a statement on Wednesday, October 18, DCI appealed to members of the public to volunteer information that may lead to the arrest of thirty-five armed and dangerous terror suspects.
Further, DCI explained that the suspects are part of the Al-shabaab terror network and are responsible for planning and orchestrating the deadly terrorist attacks and violence in Lamu County and the larger Boni Enclave.
“The suspects are ordered to surrender to any Police Station in Kenya immediately. A substantial cash reward will be offered to any member of the public who provides credible information leading to the arrest of any of the suspects,” read the statement in part.
