An Intelligence report by Kenyan security agencies has linked controversial Muslim Sheikh Guyo Goza to slain Al Shabaab operative Mbaraka Ali Huka who was killed in Isiolo recently.

The report says that Mbarak Abdi Huka, who was killed at Merti, was Sheikh Guyo’s recruit who had gone to train with Al-Shabaab in Somalia and returned to Kenya to lead a terror cell that was disrupted in mid-February 2018 in Isiolo.
