Anti-terrorism detectives have apprehended an assistant chief for allegedly facilitating the issuance of fraudulent identification documents to two terror suspects.
The Assistant Chief of Bula Power sub-location in Mandera Township was nabbed on Thursday, February 20, just days after two foreign nationals were arrested over suspected terror-related activities.
According to the DCI, the assistant chief is believed to have aided in the processing of Kenyan identification documents for the two foreign nationals by facilitating the procurement of an acknowledgment for a waiting card. "The assistant chief has been processed with the detectives and other security agencies working tirelessly to ensure that the residents of Mandera and all working within the town and its environs remain safe and secure and they undertake their day-to-day activities," a statement from the DCI read.
