Coast Province police chief, Leo Nyongesa, told the Associated Press that the Nigerian suspect was travelling on a British passport when he was arrested along with the Kenyan teenagers on Kizingitini Island near Somalia.
Nyongesa said the police arrested the group on Sunday after they were tipped off by an informant that the suspects had been recruited by the al-Shabab militia, Somalia’s most dangerous insurgent group.
The group claimed responsibility for twin bombings in Uganda in July that killed 76 people and has also successfully recruited many Somali-Americans from the United States.
