A female student at the Kenyatta University in Kenya has been held by the authorities under charges of being a member of the Islamic State (ISIS) terror group.
The first year Microbiology student, whose name was given as Gloria Kavaya Iqra, reportedly converted to Islam in October 2015 after her family neglected her.
Citizen TV reported that Iqra disappeared from campus in February 2016 to stay with a Somali family in South B where she was arrested last week.
It was suspected that she underwent radicalisation after an unidentified agency promised to finance her studies at the International University of Africa in Sudan.
The court ruled on Monday that she remained in custody until a bond of KES 500 000 was paid.
In February, another Kenyan university student was arrested while on his way to Libya to join the terror group.
The biochemistry student at the University of Nairobi had used part of his fees to buy his ticket to Sudan where he would board a connecting flight.
