Reports revealed that later that evening, five other Kenyans and two Tanzanians were tortured in the same camp over allegations of ISIS connections.
They were allegedly found reading online content that the leader of the camp maintained was related to ISIS.
The ailing leader of the terror group, Abu Ubeidha, released an audio message on May 20, 2018, reaffirming the group’s allegiance to militant group Al-Qaeda.
Rumour within Al-Shabaab circles have alleged a hostile take-over by Ubeidha’s two deputies, Mahata Karate and Maalim Osman.
Analysts stated that they believe that by torturing the foreign fighters, the leader was sending a message of reassurance to the Al-Qaeda leader that he was still with him.
The foreign Al-Shabaab fighters mainly from Kenya have witnessed rampant executions by the group who accuse them of being moles within the group.
