The country was left in shock on Tuesday, when reports emerged that there was a planned terrorist attack on the Supreme Court in February 2018.
According to intelligent reports, as reported by NTV, the plans were hatched in late last year, with Abdimajit Hassan being the lead suspect.
Majit is said to have received Sh300,000 to facilitate movement, which would include obtaining a driving license and other required documents.
Majit then met Anthony Kitila, a taxi operator in Nairobi, who became Majit’s go-to person, who would help him acquire other documents needed to execute his mission.
He then went back to Somalia, before returning to Kenya in January 2018 ready to partake his mission.
Acting on intelligence, police intercepted Majit and his accomplice Mohamed Nane in Isiolo with a vehicle that is believed to have been carrying weapons and ammunition to launch an attack.
One of the people arrested was a lady who was working at Luthuli Avenue in Nairobi, who is said to have aided the suspects to get IDs.
She was to receive Sh160,000 for her job, but she has since denied saying she only received Sh4,000.
Intelligent officers briefed their counterparts at the NPS that the intended target was the Supreme Court of Kenya and that the magnitude of the bomb weighing 101 kgs would reach a radius of 500 meters.
The impact would have completely shuttered windows and glasses within 300 meters radius. Also found in the car were 47 AK-47 guns and magazines loaded with bullets.
