Kenyan police have identified three suspects in the kidnapping of an Italian woman and are offering a reward of one million shillings ($9,750) for information leading to their arrest.
Silvia Costanza Romano, 23, was seized by six armed men on Wednesday from Kilifi, a coastal community. Five people were injured by the gunmen, including children.
There has been no claim of responsibility for the kidnapping, the first involving a foreigner in Kenya in several years.
Police have said they are optimistic the aid worker will be found “within the shortest time possible”.
Romano is a volunteer with Africs Milele Onlus, an NGO operating in the area.
Kenya’s National Police Service posted on its official Twitter page the images of the three suspects, who were identified as Ibrahim Adan Omar, Yusuf Kuno Adan and Said Adan Abdi.
