Detectives have arrested 41-year-old man suspected to be a terror suspect and recovered a firearm loaded with 6 rounds of ammunitions. 

In an intelligence led operation conducted in the Riruta area of Dagoreti, Kiambu County, the sleuths pounced on Ferdinand Indangasi near Skymatt supermarket, and recovered five sachets of a white narcotic substance believed to be cocaine from his pockets. 

Upon further scrutiny of the suspect’s mobile phone, the officers discovered radicalization literature with extremist teachings, linked to the Al-Shabaab terror network. 

The suspect led detectives to his house located behind the supermarket where upon gaining forceful entry, the detectives recovered a Glock pistol loaded with six rounds of 9mm caliber, Sh31,000 in cash and 25Kgs of 4-inch nails suspected to be used in the assembly of improvised explosive devices. 

After conducting a background check on the suspect at the DCI-Anti Terror Police Unit headquarters, it was discovered that the suspect was a hardcore jailbird who had served 15-years behind bars at the Shimo La Tewa prison. 

The terror suspect is currently being grilled by anti-terror detectives before being arraigned in court on Monday.
