Sunday, July 16, 2023 – Two terror suspects who were travelling from Tanzania to Somalia to join the al-Shabaab militia group have been arrested.

30-year-old Sadam Jafari Kitia and 25-year-old Abdirahman Shaffi Mkwatili, were arrested in Moyale after they lost their way to Somalia.

The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) said in a statement;

“They were using a notebook scribbled in Swahili to guide their movement from Tanzania to Jilib in Somalia.”
