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.
