Its reported that Adan Galhai, who is also known Urisha Galhai, and has been in Somalia for two years, had been arrested by KDF soldiers on Friday but he got away.
A police report was seen by reporters revealed that Galhai, who is suspected to have links with deadly terror group Al Shabaab, was also posing as a security officer.

Do you buy the escape and arrest story?
Following the incident, security in and around the stadium was heightened with the press at one time barred from accessing their facility.
Adan Galhai alias Urisha Galhai aged 22 was later picked by officers from the anti-terror unit for questioning with details emerging that he had been undergoing training in Somali.
