Police are looking for an Al-Shabaab militant suspected to have masterminded the attack on General Service Unit Officers in Garissa on 12th October 2019 leading to the death of ten officers.
A source within the security agencies indicates that Abdullahi Banati, a Somali Galjeel, led a team of militants that planted Improvised Explosive Devices (IED’s) that killed the General Service Unit officers from HarHar GSU camp.
Investigations into the incident indicate that Banati is the commander of a team of militants operating along the border and masterminding nuisance attacks against security agencies and the members of the public.
Police are said to have traced the activities of Banati and his team of militants to the border and it is suspected that he escaped to Somalia with the rest of the operatives.
