One of Kenya’s most wanted terror suspects is dead, reports Daily
Nation Kenya. Fatuma Mohamed Masou had a Sh2 million bounty on her head,
and was the wife of slain terrorist Kassim Omondi, who was killed by
police during a raid in 2013.
On the run since September last year, her body was found in Kedong,
near Naivasha, more than a month ago, but the police officers who
stumbled upon her remains did not immediately identify her.
Her family did not show up for the brief burial ceremony at the
Naivasha Muslim cemetery, but instead asked well-wishers to inter her
remains.
Police put a bounty on Ms Masou’s head after they accused her of
hiding yet another terrorist, Ishmael Shosi, who was killed in September
last year during a raid in Mombasa.
They believed she was armed, dangerous and closely linked to jihadist networks in Somalia and the region.
ASSORTED FIREARMS
Although she was arrested soon after her husband’s death in 2013,
she was released after denying before a magistrate that she had been
found in possession of assorted firearms, including two hand grenades
and a gun.
And then, about a month ago, police officers stumbled upon two bodies in a field in Kedong, Naivasha.
After fingerprint identification, it turned out that the two were
some of Kenya’s most wanted fugitives, said local police boss Titus
Mathuku.
The other was Farid Omar Awadh, also on the police wanted list.
A Naivasha-based Muslim preacher, Adam Ali Hassan, on Sunday said
family members had positively identified the two bodies before they were
buried at the Naivasha Muslim cemetery.
IDENTIFIED BODY
“The family of Awadh came and positively identified the body,” said Mr Hassan. “We
also got in touch with the family of Masou and, after giving them her
physical descriptions, they confirmed that she was the one. They have
given us the go-ahead to bury her.”
As news of her death sunk in on Sunday, police officers said they
were also holding two men suspected of being Al-Shabaab militants sent
by the terrorist organisation to launch attacks in Kenya during the
Easter season.
Juma Mwangoh Athman, 24, was arrested Friday evening at his house
in Shika Adabu, Likoni, after a raid by the Anti-Terrorism Police Unit
(ATPU).
Two hand grenades, pouches of an AK-47 rifle, a jungle jacket, 10
rounds of ammunition and one pair of binoculars were found in the house.
Coast regional CID boss Pius Macharia said his officers had been monitoring the suspect for some time.
SNEAKING INTO MANDERA
“We are now questioning him to establish whether he has been involved in other terror-related activities,” said Mr Macharia.
The other suspect, Stephen Wagechi, was nabbed while sneaking into
Mandera from Bula Hawa in Somalia. He recently converted to Islam and
assumed the name Mohammed.
According to a police report seen by the Nation, Wagechi was born
in Thika and was converted to Islam in 2014 at Jomo Kenyatta University
of Agriculture and Technology by a Mr Yusuf, who was also a student at
the campus. He is expected in court on Tuesday.
The arrests come a day after police released a list of nine
suspected terrorists that they said may either have sneaked into Kenya
from Somalia or are in the final stages of planning to do so.
WANTED TERROR SUSPECTS
They are Habib Karongo, alias Jureyj; Juma Were; Mohamed Tajir; Abdullahi Jarso Kotola; Gufu Tari Gufu; and Ahmed Said Omar.
Others are Abubakar Abdikadir Abubakar; Issa Abdalla Kauni; and Fuad Abubakar Manswab.
Manswab is a close associate of one of the Western world’s most
wanted terror suspects, Samantha Lewthwaite, and has been on
international and local police radar since 2011.
