Police in Mombasa county have arrested a student from Moi University Eldoret for allegedly engaging in terror activities and planing travel to Libya and join ISIS.
The suspect, who was arrested by anti-terror unit officers on Monday at their home in Kizingo estate, also had his laptop and phone confiscated.
The suspect, Hassan Kassim Hassan, was arraigned in court but failed to take a plea after the prosecution filed an application asking for 15 days to investigate the matter fully.
State council officer Eugene Wangila’s application for more time was however opposed by the suspect’s lawyer.
Mombasa Court Principal Magistrate Francis Kyambia ordered the suspect detained at the port police station until Thursday when the court will determine if the police will be given more time or not.
