On Friday, the Milimani High Court upheld the conviction of two suspected terrorists involved in the 2013 Westgate Mall attack, which killed 67 people and injured over 200. Lady Justice Grace Nzioka affirmed that the evidence against Mohamed Ahmed Abdi and Hussein Hassan Mustafah, as assessed by the trial court, sufficiently proved the charges of conspiracy to commit a terrorist act. Additionally, Nzioka upheld Abdi’s conviction for possessing an article linked to terrorism. However, she acquitted both men of the charge of providing support to a terrorist group.

“Following the testimony of 46 prosecution witnesses, the Trial Court sentenced the two convicts to 18 years each for the offence of conspiracy to commit a terrorist act and the first appellant to fifteen years for the offence of being in possession of an article connected with terrorism,” said the Office of the Directorate of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) in a statement Saturday.

“Lady Justice Nzioka upheld the sentence and the orders of the Trial Court that the sentences run consecutively.”
The ODPP also extended appreciation to the Anti-Terrorism Police Unit Officers (ATPU) and prosecutors who played a crucial role in ensuring justice was served.
