Police on Friday identified Mombasa youth Mahir Khalid Riziki as the Dusit-D2 terror attack suicide bomber.

According to police, Khalid was recruited to the terror network by Khamis Bilal and went to Somali for training.

The reports further indicated that Mahir, 25 was born and raised in Majengo, Mombasa sneaked back into the country in January, 13th, 2019.

Police further revealed that Mahir was married to Suheila Mwalimu Bakari whom detectives are also pursuing as investigations hastens.

Mahir was in 2015 in a list of eight most wanted terror suspects who former Coast regional coordinator Nelson Marwa circulated to the public asking Mombasa residents to be extra vigilant.

Marwa said that Mahir together with other Al-Shabab suspects were planning terror attacks at the Coast and other parts of the country.

On Tuesday during the Dusit-D2 terror attack, Mahir was seen walking past the restaurant and stopped outside as shown in CCTV footage.

The hotel’s site manager Abdullahi Ogello who passed through Mahir while on his normal duties revealed that he did not know who the person was though he was distraught, arguing through his mobile phone asking where his colleagues were.

“Seconds later after passing him outside the restaurant, I heard a loud blast and I ran for my life without knowing that the man I passed blew himself up,” revealed Ogello.
