Most Wanted! US Gov’t Offers Ksh1.2B Reward For Information On Three Al-Shaabab Leaders
The United States is offering a $10 million (Ksh.1.2 billion) reward to persons who will provide information leading to the arrest of three Al-Shabaab terrorist group leaders.
In a statement at its embassy in Nairobi on Monday, the US said the leaders are responsible for numerous terrorist attacks in Somalia, Kenya and neighbouring countries that have killed hundreds of people.
The three terror group leaders are Mahad Karate, Jehad Mostafa, and Ahmed Diriye.
“To our Kenyan and regional partners, United States is offering reward money for information that will lead to the identification and disruption of Al-Shabaab’s revenue sources and funding. This is huge information on Al-Shabaab’s exploitation of local natural resources and financial donors and facilitators,” a senior US official said.
“We know that Al-Shabaab receives money through a plethora of illegal activities that go on around the world to fund their operations and to fund the killing of hundreds of civilians every year,” he added.
The informants are urged to submit the information through Signal, Telegram or WhatsApp to +254-71-87-12-366 (Kenya) or +252-68-43-43-308 (Somalia).
The informants will not only be eligible for the reward but also relocation.
