The Anti-Terrorism Police Unit (ATPU) has been allowed to hold blogger Robert Alai and former prison warder Patrick Safari Robert to complete investigations into last weekend’s attack in Wajir that left a dozen police officers dead.
The two will be held for another fourteen days. They were arrested on Tuesday for publishing gory images of police officers killed in an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) attack by suspected Al-Shabaab terrorists on Saturday.
Preliminary investigations reveal that the two Kenyans were in constant communication with several other persons whose calls were traced to Somalia. Police are probing the link between the suspects and the terrorist involved in the IED attack. The matter will be mentioned on 4th July to confirm the progress of the investigations.
