The US government has announced a Ksh1.3 billion cash reward to anyone who can provide information that would help arrest suspects behind the terrorist attack at the Manda Bay Airfield in Lamu in 2020.
The suspects include Abdullahi Banati, who is said to be one of the masterminds of the attack.
The cash reward is equivalent to about $10 million. In a statement on Wednesday, May 8, the US, through its Somali Embassy, stated that anyone with information that can help it nab the individuals should get in touch with the US Department of State through Signal, Telegram, or WhatsApp (+1-202-975-9160).
According to the embassy, the reward is under the Department of State's Rewards for Justice (RFJ), a special program that has, over the past 40 years, paid out Ksh32 billion ($250 million) to individuals providing critical information that has helped reinforce and protect US National Security.
