Suspected Terrorist Arrested at Uhurus Home

Suspected Terrorist Arrested at Uhurus Home

A suspected terrorist was on Tuesday arrested at President Uhuru Kenyatta’s Gatundu home.

The suspect, Said Mirre Siyad, is alleged to have been carrying out surveillance in preparation for a “terrorist attack”.

Mr Said was produced in court Wednesday and police applied to detain him for further investigations.

Prosecutor Daniel Karuri told the court that the suspect did not explain what he was doing at the Presidents residence.

He said further investigations were being carried out as he is believed to have associates who were yet to be arrested.

Mr Karuri said investigators needed more time to extract call data from the suspect’s mobile phone and this might require them to travel to West Pokot.

He said Mr Siyad was arrested on Tuesday and handed to the Anti-Terrorism Police Unit on Wednesday.

The court granted the application to detain him pending investigations.

Mr Siyad is among eight terrorism suspects who appeared in court on Tuesday, including three detained by the public at Gikomba Market.

Omg! scary! Kenyans need to be vigilant and report anything suspicious. I know if I was in Kenya that's what I would be doing. Is there a hotline for this since I have not seen any campaigns in the media ? We are all responsible for the security of our people -report, report report ...

I wonder if you @iphone4G would have used the same venom if it was a suspected terrorist at RAOs home. You are so full of hate for the President. Try RAO again in 2022 if he will live that long.

Show no mercy to the terrorists wannabes but could this be a mental case since I don't think a sane mind will take such risks. Having said that, it's good to take every terror threat very serious even from retarded and wazimu.

You mean NO price could be put on his head. But don't say that to the Kenyan Police and Judicial Systems. These are systems obsessed with Money and Bribery and they could let this guy lose at a very UGLY price.

If you are waiting for Iphone to use her head and ask intelligent questions then you are in for a rude shock...She does not use her head when the president's name is mentioned. Everywhere in the word, not just in Kenya, people are becoming more vigilant because of terror and only a fool will be flippant about taking extra caution.

Guest, you don't get it, iphone4G (G for Garbage), is simply LUSTING after this idiot. @Iphone4Garbage, get in touch with Kenya Police wakupatie namba, you may get lucky one of these days ukisafiri Kenya. Najua hapa mambo yamekukalia ngumu coz no sane man would dare lay you except a jakwath

President Uhuru said YOUR SECURITY IS YOUR PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY......its his responsibility to properly secure HIS own home.....As for surveillance???taking a selfie n pictures with presidents houses is not a crime.Is he being charged with terrorism becoz he his of Somali decent???
.......did he break into the compound??
Just becoz he a somali doesn't make him a terrorist.....this setting a bad precedent.
Kenya police will arrest on lookers and passer bys and call them terrorist and murderers.....give us more information...otherwise go after real terrorist...sio wapita njia.

I told you Oyula that UNLESS you REPENT from HATING RAILA, you'll SURELY die young (because of your poison of hate) leaving RAO live and kicking. I assure you! And you seem an Alcoholic Addict.

Her venom is all over this topic because its about Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta, and may be coincidentally her cycles are ripe! Pour your stupidity for all to see empty debe.
Uhuru is the elected president of Jamhuri ya Kenya so you will have a long, stressful time, you may want to hibernate for couple of years.

To every Kenya: "If you see something, say something".
This might save your brother, sister, mother, father, neighbor and or your fellow Kenyan.

We are all each others keeper.
