Tuesday, July 22, 2025 - The Ministry of Interior has launched investigations into what could be another case of religious radicalisation, following a disturbing discovery at a secluded homestead in the Binzaro area of Kilifi County.
In a statement issued on Tuesday morning, Interior Cabinet
Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen confirmed that the operation was triggered by a
tip-off from vigilant members of the public.
Security and intelligence officers raided a five-acre
property suspected of harbouring radical religious activity.
During the operation, four individuals were rescued,
including a 50-year-old man reported missing in Siaya in April, his 40-year-old
wife, and two other females aged 40 and 19.
“Preliminary assessments indicate the individuals may have
been held under the influence of radical teachings,” said Murkomen.
In a chilling twist, officers recovered two human skulls and
a freshly deceased body of an unidentified adult male in a nearby thicket.
The remains were transported to the Malindi Sub-County
Hospital Mortuary for preservation and forensic analysis.
The main suspect is in custody, along with three individuals
identified as the compound's managers.
Three others were also arrested in connection with the
questionable sale of the property, as investigations continue into the legality
of the transaction.
The DCI in Malindi has secured protective custody for the
rescued victims and applied for warrants to conduct a comprehensive forensic
sweep of the scene.
Murkomen praised local residents for their timely alert and
reaffirmed the Government's commitment to confronting radical indoctrination
that endangers lives under the guise of faith.
