Yassin Juma Explains His 'Terrorist Related' Finger Sign

Former NTV journalist and blogger Yassin Juma has revealed the meaning of his one finger sign that is largely associated with terrorist groups.

Yassin, who was announcing his release from a two day detention, explained the sign that he flushed on his photos saying that he meant to show the 'oneness of God and to declare that all tribulations could only be solved by God'.

“And for those asking what the index finger stands for, it is a sign used to indicate the oneness of God and that our tribulations in this world can only be solved by that one good Lord. God is one. And no other entity or being is as powerful, merciful and magnificent as he is,” he wrote on Facebook.

The blogger went ahead to pose for a photo showing the same sign despite it being linked to terror groups such as Somalia-based Al Shabaab and Syria-based Islamic State (ISIS).

Yassin was arrested in Donholm estate, Nairobi, for allegedly posting information on Kenya Defence Forces' attack that happened a week ago in El Adde, Somalia.

However, he was freed on Monday without facing charges because the prosecution had not prepared proper charge sheets and key documents were missing.
