    Three terror convicts, who were recently arrested after escaping from Kamiti Maximum Security Prison, have admitted to the offense.

    The trio, Musharraf Abdalla Akhulunga alia Zarkarawi, Mohammed Ali Abikar and Joseph Juma Odhiambo alias Yusuf, however, denied the charge of committing a terror act.

    They appeared before Chief Magistrate Diana Mochache at the Kahawa Law Courts on Monday.

    The prosecution alleges that the trio committed a terrorist act by escaping from the prison, which was a threat to national security.

    A fourth suspect was also arraigned in court.  Abdulmajid Yassin was charged with aiding the escape of the prisoners.

    Yassin pleaded not guilty to the charge.

    The jailbirds escaped from Kamiti Prison on the night of November 14.

    The convicts, who were were serving jail terms ranging from 15 years to 41 years, escaped from the highly guarded correctional facility after dislodging a brick on the wall of their cell.

    They were arrested in Kitui County three days later.
