A Canadian national and four Kenyans linked to Dusit D2 terror attack were arraigned in court today but however, the Principal Magistrate Martha Mutuku ordered that the five suspects be detained for 30 days.
The five, Joel Nganga Wainaina, Oliver Kanyango Muthee, Gladys Kaari Justus, Guleid Abdihakim and Osman Ibrahim were arraigned on Friday afternoon and are yet to plead to the charges.
They were brought to the Milimani Law Court under a miscellaneous application for police to complete investigations before charges can be preferred against them.
She further directed that they would be place in custody at any police station of the investigator’s choice.
21 people lost their lives in the attack at dusitD2 located at 14 Riverside drive in Nairobi.
Dozens others were injured even as security forces managed to evacuate 700 people.
All the gunmen were killed during the standoff and some of their accomplices arrested.
The militant terror group Al Shabaab claimed responsibility citing U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to recognise Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
