The Swedish Foreign Ministry was on Friday unable to confirm details of the arrest. The Swedish embassy in Nairobi has not been informed about the man's identity or nationality, and in view of the fact that it is now the weekend, it remained unclear when this information would be forthcoming.
"It is also dependent on whether this person wants contact," said Catarina Axelsson at the ministry's press service to the TT news agency.
