Former Kilifi County Driver among 9 Suspected Terrorists

Police Officers have named a former Kilifi government employee as an Al-Shabaab fighter planning fresh attacks in the country.

Issa Abdallah Kauni who worked at the Kilifi County Headquarters is among nine suspected terrorists named in a list issued by Inspector-General of Police Joseph Boinnet to alert security agencies at the coast of possible attacks ahead of the Easter festivities.

The 26-year-old worked as the driver of Education Executive Salma Muhdin for a period of six months.

Kauni disappeared from his Malindi home three years ago forcing the county’s human resources department to publish a poster of him as a “missing person” in November 2014.

In 2015, Kauni’s father Abdallah Mohammed called for the arrest of his son.

The suspect had a Sh2 Million bounty on his head.

Other terrorists named include Abulkadir Abubakar Abdulkadir and Hussein Said Omar among others.
