Three suspects have been arrested in connection with the murder of Kilifi Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) official Aisha Abubakar on January 5.
According to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), several exhibits linking the suspects to the crime were recovered, including phones belonging to Abubakar's son.
The three were apprehended from different hiding spots in the Coastal Region following a coordinated law enforcement operation backed by the Operation Support Unit (OSU) and the Crime Research and Intelligence Bureau.
This comes just over a week after Aisha was murdered in a suspected robbery that turned fatal at her Kilifi home.
