Monday, 16 January 2023 – A man has been found guilty of conspiring with Alshabaab terrorists to bomb Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) in January 2019.
The suspect, Victor Odede Bwire, was convicted of the offence by a Nairobi court on Monday.
A forensic analysis of his phones showed that he had sent information on KICC’s security arrangement to contacts in Somali.
He reportedly collected and transmitted information on KICC’s security arrangement using his phone to the holder of a Facebook account Mohammed Yare Abadalla, who comes from Somali.
The court heard that the information was intended for use in the commission of a terror act.
He also faced a separate charge of collecting information to aid a terror act.
The prosecution submitted that the information was intended for use in the commission of a terror act.
He denied the charges before Principal Magistrate Lillian Arika.
The accused will be sentenced on February 8, 2022.
