- The end of the road has come for a man who sent Interpol information claiming he had intel about a terror attack
- The DCI has revealed that the man, Moses Kabali, had faked the terror alert to frame his estranged wife in an act of revenge
- Kabali, bitter over their separation, provided his wife’s number to authorities, alleging she was connected to a terrorist group
A Ugandan man has been sentenced to five years in prison for sending a fake terror alert to Interpol in a twisted attempt to punish his estranged wife.
Moses Kabali, a resident of Kenya, authored a malicious email on June 30, 2024, claiming to have insider knowledge of an imminent terrorist attack.
According to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), Kabali’s email reached the Interpol General Secretariat in France, urging them to alert Kenyan security agencies of the impending attack by a known terrorist group.
He even went further, providing the phone number of a woman whom he identified as one of the suspects involved in the plot.

However, during questioning, she revealed that while the number was registered under her name, it was being used by a cousin.
Detectives apprehended the cousin in Eastleigh on August 31, 2024, but their investigation found no connection between the relative and any terror-related activity.
It was only after Kabali himself was arrested on September 3, 2024, that the truth began to unravel.
A search of his residence uncovered two mobile phones, two laptops, and various documents, all seized for forensic analysis.
Investigators confirmed that the email was sent from Kabali’s Yahoo account, proving his attempt to mislead international authorities.
