The widow to controversial Muslim cleric Aboud Rogo was on Wednesday arrested by anti-terrorism police at her Kikambala home in Kilifi County in connection to an attempted terror attack at the Mombasa Central Police Station.
According to relatives, Haniya Said Saggar was arrested and driven off to an unknown location.
The Nation reports that the officers confiscated her phone when she attempted to contact her lawyer.
“They said they were taking her to the Mtwapa Police Station. Our mother suggested that they wait for her lawyer but the officers, who had already taken her phone, drove away with her in a Range Rover," a relative is quoted by the nation.
The family member says, when they visited Mtwapa police station they failed to find Saggar and they are worried because they alleged she might suffer the same fate as her late husband.
“We are worried. They used this on the late Aboud Rogo. We have not had any issues of late and we expect they will return our mother," another relative said.
Rogo was gunned down by unknown people while he was driving along the Mombasa-Malindi Highway.
