Two people suspected to be terrorists are in custody at a police station in Garissa after they tried to sneak into Kenya from Somalia.
The two identified as Aden Hassan Mohammed, 22, and Ibrahim Ali Guyo, 19 were arrested after a brave taxi driver drove them into an Administration Police camp in Garissa.
The driver says the two boarded his taxi at Hoosingo area in Somalia and claimed to be traveling to Hamey but later instructed him to take them to Hagadera in Kenya.
However, the driver (name withheld for security reasons) drove them into the police camp after suspecting that they were criminals.
“On reaching Hamey they changed and said they wanted to go to Hagadera in Kenya and instructed the driver not to pass through the main road. The driver sensed danger and on reaching Alnjugur he drove into the Administration Police camp,” reads a report referred from Occurrence Book number OB 33/18/1/2018.
When ransacked, the two suspects were found with a Marakov Zeska pistol, 15 rounds of ammunition and a white powdery substance.
“A search was conducted and a Ceska pistol loaded with 15 bullets, a Makarov pistol loaded with eight bullets and whitish powder were recovered,” the report adds.
Their arrest comes days after January 15th terror attack in Nairobi that claimed the lives of 21 people.

Kenya we have a problem. Is Kenyan-Somalia border an open border whereby Taxi drivers haul people without document verification? This story does not does add up. If it is true it shows the root of Kenya’s insecurity problem-That a Kenyan Taxi driver or vice versa can pick up anybody in Somalia and bring them to Kenya without border inspection. If this story true it means Kenya does not need sympathy from international community because the problems it is facing with terrorism is of it’s own making. How come Ethiopia does not have the same issue and it borders Somalia?. How come Somalians cannot travel to Somaliland without being verified but they can travel to Kenya?. This are questions Kenyans need to address before they can claim to be victims of Somalian terrorism
Indeed very many questions…
Indeed very many questions have to be asked. Whats even shocking is the fact that Ali Salim one of the Dusit terrorist is still alive.

Two, Critical questions linger as to how one or two Western based highly trained soldiers miraculously appeared at the crime scene knowing how brutal traffic in Nairobi is. And yes, one was at a shopping mall perhaps shopping; then suddenly was in full combat gear and miraculously showed up at the scene before Kenyan defence forces did. This same person also saved lives in WestGate attack some years back.
Where there is smoke there is ? fire. It is also alleged Americans knew about the impeding attack something Godec denied the other day. Was Uhuru aware about this? If he did,when did he know it? Perhaps most disturbing is dead terrorists resurrecting from the dead after the head of state stood in front of cameras to say all terrorists had been eliminated?
Yep indeed one can drive in…
Yep indeed one can drive in and out of Somalia using so many panya routes that the Somali’s have established. Check points are only found in the main roads. It’s a porous boarder.
@Konihanene if the mighty US…
@Konihanene if the mighty US is finding it difficult to control movement between their border with Mexico, what about kenya? May be a wall will solve this.
What is wrong with this…
What is wrong with this daktari and her dumb comments.Have you ever been to the Kenyan Somali border or have you heard of panya routes as somebody commented you cannot secure an entire border .Secondly Ethiopia does not have a problem with Alshabaab because wanafanana.Look at what is going on in Yemen nobody cares about Arabs and especially those that inhabit countries that have no oil or other minerals that the western world can exploit.They come to Kenya for the recognition.The UN has offices in Kenya there is also more chances they will blend in .How many Kenyans can tell the difference between a Kenyan Somali and a regular Somali.Furthermore with a greed of a certain tribe that rent them apartments without questioning how someone who looks kaukad came across such money does not help the situation.
You seem ignorant for…
You seem ignorant for attacking Dr. Koni Hanene for raising genuine questions. Your argument ae baseless and are arguments from ignorance because they infer that a proposition is true from the fact that it is not known to be false. You arguments are also empty headed. If you think “Ethiopia does not have a problem with Al-Shabaab because wanafanana” you are not worthy responding to comments of highly regarded intellectuals like those of Dr. Koni Hanene. Terrorists look for weakness not the fact that there is a UN office or they can blend in. Dr. Koni’s argument is that those terrorist came from a town in Somalia and were travelling to a town in Kenya. There ought to be a border check if there is a road connecting the two towns. Your arguments are very shallow, unintelligent and lack merit. Please take a beak from commenting to wish up or go back school

Criminals r within our societies.Wako na phd,degrees,wao ni citizens of any or that country?So even if the boarders were manned 24/7 n tall walls build will b a plus but the criminals who r already inside any country remains the biggest problem?Can somebody remember the idiots thugs who did 9/11 were inside the country??U saw in kenya this idiots were from within???
