NAIROBI (Halbeeg News) – Kenyan Police have released identities of three people suspected to have been involved in the abduction of an Italian volunteer in a village in Kilifi County last week.
In a statement on Saturday, National Police Service (NPS) identified the three men as Ibrahim Adan Omar, Yusuf Kuno Adan and Said Adan Abdi.
Police have offered a Sh 3 million ($30,000) reward for information on the three key suspects of the abduction of Italian volunteer Sylvia Constanca in Chakama, Kilifi County.
Kenyan Inspector General of police Joseph Boinnet said the suspects Ibrahim Adan Omar, Yusuf Kuno Adan and Said Adan Abdi are armed and dangerous.
“We consequently appeal to the public to inform the nearest police officer or police station should they see any of the three persons for further action. A cash reward of Sh1 million will be offered to anyone with information leading to the arrest of the suspects,” Boinnet said.
The three are suspected to be behind the kidnapping of Sylvia Constanca at a children’s home in Chakama on Tuesday.
Constanca, a volunteer at Milele Africa – an NGO based in Kilifi county – was abducted after suspected Al-Shabaab militants attacked the facility. The whereabouts of the 23-year-old girl still remain unknown.
He said two motorcycles recovered in the area near the place where the woman was kidnapped were used by the kidnappers to escape.
Boinnet told the reporters that two men, Moses Suleiman Mbogo and Joseph Bakuna Kazungu to surrender to nearest police station for questioning after it was established they handled the motorcycles used in the attack.
“We have also established that the two motorbikes that were found by our officers tracking the suspects are suspected to have been used as the gateway conveyance,” Boinnet said in his statement.
Police have also asked owners of two motorcycles seized by police, and which are believed to have been used during the abduction of the Italian woman to report to the nearest police station.
