A Nairobi court has found a suspect in a terrorist attack plot to blow up the towering Kenyatta International Convention Center (KICC) guilty of the botched scheme.
Milimani Senior Principal Magistrate Bernard Ochoi found Victor Odende Bwire guilty of conspiracy to commit a terrorist attack and collection of information for the purpose of committing a terrorist attack at KICC.
Bwire was allegedly working in cahoots with his accomplices in Somalia.
The magistrate further found that the prosecution had proved the two counts beyond a reasonable doubt.
It was revealed that the convict had opened three Facebook accounts which he used to collect data and disseminate the same to Somalia and also to the enlisting master Mohamed Yare Abdalla who is serving a life term sentence at Kamiti Maximum Prison over terrorism.
Further, a forensic analysis of phones seized from Bwire showed he had sent information on KICC’s security arrangement to his contacts in Somalia.
