Nigerian national injured after jumping from 3rd floor while fleeing from immigration officers

A Nigerian national was seriously injured as he jumped from an upper floor of an apartment as he ran away from immigration and police who were after him in Kilimani area, Nairobi.

Police say they had been informed that the man is an illegal immigrant when they went to look for him. It was during the incident that he jumped off the third floor of the structure sustaining serious injuries.

He was taken to hospital ahead of planned deportation.

Meanwhile, two suspects believed to have been behind the July 2010 Kampala bombings have been re-arrested after being deported from Uganda after 8 years in detention.

They were presented in court yesterday.

A Nairobi court ruled that Yahya Suleiman Mbuthia and Mohammed Hamid Suleman, identified by Kenya police as “persons of concern,” be detained for 30 days to allow detectives crack what is believed to be an active local terror cell.

Investigation revealed that the July 12  2010  twin bomb blasts that tore through crowds of World Cup fans were partly planned in Kenya.

The pair were charged alongside others now serving jail terms in the neighbouring country. They were charged with multiple counts of terrorism and murder.

ATPU received the suspects on September 7 2018  at Malaba border after they were deported upon being acquitted in two trials in Uganda, the trial court heard.
