Wanted Al-shabaab fighter's wife escapes Police arrest.
The wife of an Al-Shabaab fugitive has escaped to Somalia after evading a police dragnet. Ms Rukia Mbarak Faraj, who is married to Al-Shabaab fighter Ramadhan Kufungwa, was last spotted at Daadab Refugee Camp but escaped after police linked her to a terrorist cell there.
Police had on August 27 offered Sh2 million to anybody who could provide information leading to her arrest.
While at the refugee camp, police established that she had been facilitating the movement of young men and women to and from Al-Shabaab strongholds in Somalia.
She was also wanted for smuggling weapons, including explosives into Kenya.
“During her escape, she managed to traffic four young men with her,” a government report seen by the Saturday Nation said.
It added: “Rukia is the wife of notorious criminal and terrorist Ramadhan Kufungwa who is wanted for the killing of sheikhs and Muslim security agents at the Coast. He is currently in hiding with the Al-Shabaab.”
