A man has moved to court, seeking to compel the government to remove him from the terrorist blacklist.

In his case, Abdalla Abdlkadir Mohamed claims that he has been going through untold pain for the last six years.

Mohamed, who hails from Lamu County, has sued the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), the Inspector General of Police, the Director of Immigration and the Attorney General, saying that since 2019, whenever he arrives at an airport or a border, he is stopped and referred to the Anti-Terrorism Police Unit (ATPU).

He told the High Court that he is then detained and questioned for being in the country’s terror suspects black book.

“On inquiry, the petitioner is informed that he is stopped, detained, and questioned because his name allegedly appears on “a list”.
