Five suspects arrested over the Garissa University College
terror attack in which 149 people died were on Thursday formally charged
in a Nairobi court with committing a terrorist act.
Mohamed Ali Abdikar, Hassan Aden Hassan, Sahal Diriye, Osman
Abdi and Rashid Charles, a Tanzanian, denied 162 counts of terrorism and
have been ordered detained till June 11 when the court will rule on
their bail terms.
The prosecution has opposed their release on bail, noting that
they were suspected Al-Shabaab terrorists and their release may
prejudice trial.
Meanwhile, a hearing has been set for August 24 and 25 before the Chief Magistrate’s Court in Milimani.
