A Kitale businessman has been arrested over suspicion that he is a financier of the al Shabaab terror group. Police suspect Abdisak Hussein, who operates petrol stations in Kitale town, has been financing illegal activities linked to terrorism. “The suspect shall be detained at Eldoret police station and be presented to court after one week,” Obulutsa ordered. William Ndune, an investigations officer attached to the Anti-Terror Unit, said the trader had links with terror activities in the country. “I'm a Kenyan from Wajir county doing genuine oil business in Kitale,” Hussein said.
