Four women accused of links to Al Shabaab pleaded not guilty to new charges of conspiracy to commit terrorism.
Maryam Said Aboud, Khadija Abdulkadir Abubakar, Ummul Khayr Sadir Abdalla and Halima Adan Ali who were arrested last year are already facing a charge of being members of the terrorist group.
They were freed on bond yesterday, but never left prison after the State pressed new charges. Senior Principal Magistrate Simon Rotich overruled a preliminary objection filed by the defence opposing the four girls from taking plea to the new charges.
