Police Commissioner Mathew Iteere has urged Ahmed Khaled Muller to surrender to the nearest police station for questioning over links with Al-Shabaab, Xinhua reported.
Police believe he could be in possession of information on planned Al-Shabaab criminal activities, Iteere said in a statement Saturday.
The man uses aliases Andreas Martin Muller and Abu Nusaibah, police said.
