| 2010-08-17 |
| [The Nation (Nairobi)] The head of the Anti-Terrorism Police Unit is expected in court on Tuesday morning to explain the arrest and detention of a Kenyan last week in connection with the twin bombings in Kampala, Uganda. Mr Justice Aggrey Muchelule ordered the officer to bring with him the original warrant for the detention of Mr Mohammed Hamid Suleiman. Mr Suleiman was arrested last week in Nairobi's South C estate. His family has gone to court demanding his release saying members have not been able to reach him. "It has been more than 24 hours since he was arrested and nobody knows where he is being held." According to Mr Suleiman's wife, Ms Zuhura Suleiman, her husband was arrested at 10.30pm last Friday. In her papers, the mother of four said her husband was picked up by 10 armed police officers. Mr Suleiman is said to have called his mother telling her he was being held at Kasarani Police Station but the family did not find him there. He is the latest suspect to be seized over the bombings that killed 76 people in Kampala last month. |
