The headscarf-wearing teacher denied all the charges

Teacher jailed for radicalising pupils

A Muslim school teacher and preacher has been sentenced to 20 years in prison by a court in Kenya for converting children.

Children testified that Salim Mohamed Wabwire taught them that Christians should be killed.

Wabwire was a primary school teacher, and an Imam at the Jihad Mosque in a rural area north of Mombasa.

 

A convert from Christianity, he was previously known as Samuel Wanjala Wabwire.

The court said while some of the children testified against him, one tried to cover up for him.
