One of the men listed by police as suspects planning to stage terror attacks in the country has disassociated himself with the alleged plans.
Salad Tari Gufu, 25, says he now fears for his life and has not been able to leave his family’s home in Buruburu for fear of being killed or taken away by police.
“I am not involved in any terror activities and I am not armed like the police are saying. I am a student at the Moi University and I just completed my attachment waiting to resume my studies in September after the elections,” Mr Salad said.
In a statement released on Wednesday, police had placed a Sh2 million bounty on Mr Gufu, describing him as a recruiter and a facilitator of a terror network.
Police also said that he was out of the country and that his brother was trying to help him sneak back into the country, an allegation that he denied.
