Police say the five suspects are in Somalia but are planning to cross over on a mission. Security agents are hunting for five suspected al Shabaab suicide bombers said to be planning a major terrorist attack. The five include a woman, who has been married to several al Shabaab members of Jeysh Ayman. The Jeysh Ayman is a Shabaab wing comprising mostly Kenyans reported to have returned to the country from Somalia, where they had gone for training. They are known associates of the Shabaab gang that attacked the Kenya Defence Forces camp in Baure, Lamu county, in June. Some have since been killed in combat. "Some of the attackers of Baure camp have been traced as having roots in Nairobi. Investigations continue into the activities and locations of these youth attacking Kenyans," a police intelligence report states. It names Omar Owiti and Ramadhan Kioko as al Shabaab operatives with roots in Nairobi. The others include Patroba Juma Owiti also known as Omar Patroba Juma, who was born in Siaya in 1982 and a very close friend of Anwar Yogan Mwok and husband to Shamim Wanjiru Hussein. The couple lives in Umoja estate, Nairobi. Patroba and Anwar travelled together to Somalia in 2013 to join al Shabaab. They are believed to be members of Jeysh Ayman and to have been involved in the botched June 2015 attacks on the Lamu KDF base. Intelligence agents have established that Anwar owns several properties within Nairobi's Umoja estate, some of which he has recently sold and used the proceeds to finance the group's terrorists activities. Shamim is described as a 26-year-old possible suicide bomber born in Pumwani, Nairobi, and has been married to several al Shabaab operatives. She travelled from Nairobi to Somalia early this year. Her al Shabaab husbands include Swaleh Kibet, an al Shabaab operative who died in Somalia fighting for the insurgent group. Intelligence reports indicate Shamim was recruited into al Shabaab by Eric Ogada, who has recruited many youth from Nairobi.
Police and military security are chasing a gang of five purported members of Al-Shabaab who are said to be planning a major suicide-bombing in Nairobi. The group is said to be comprised of Kenyan's belonging to Jeysh Ayman and to have been trained in Somalia.
