The government has embarked on modalities of extraditing British terror suspect Jermaine Grant (pictured) to the United Kingdom.

This after the Mombasa High Court yesterday ordered his deportation to his home country after successfully serving his 11-year sentence at the Shimo La Tewa G.K prison after being found guilty of being in possession of explosives in an attempt to launch a terrorist attack in the country.

He was further slapped with two years, after he pleaded guilty to charges of being unlawfully present in the country, and trying to obtain Kenyan Citizenship.

Prison break

 Grant was later transferred to Kamiti G.K prison after he attempted to stage a prison break at Shimo La Tewa prison in November last year.

High court judge Anne Onginjo ordered for the removal of Grant from the facility following a state application that had sought for orders to have the suspect deported back to the UK where he is wanted over terrorism claims. Grant, was born in Newham, east London.

In the latest development, Director of public prosecutions through senior principal prosecution counsel Yamina Jamii moved to the court seeking orders to allow state agencies alongside Interpol to hand over Grant to the United Kingdom after he successfully completed his jail term.

 Yamina in his application had sought for revision of the high court orders under Miscellaneous application in relation to criminal case,3914 of 2011.

 In the application, the state has argued that Grant pleaded guilty to charges of being unlawfully present in the country and was convicted and sentenced to two years in prison.

 “His sentence came to a completion in June 24,2023 he is a British National and a suspected terrorist as it may be captured in the judgment, we propose to this court to make orders to have Grant removed from Kenya and further orders to restrain him to remain out of the country,” said Jamii.
