He was picked up for questioning from a restaurant near Likoni and driven to his house on Saturday evening where a search was conducted for vital clues.
His arrest was confirmed by Mombasa County Commander Robert Kitur but no further information was disclosed.
The suspect is the chairman of Likoni Community Development Sacco that was registered last year, and which police believe has been used to recruit youths to join the Al-Shabaab group.
His family members who addressed journalists at Makupa Police Station however maintained that he is innocent saying he had no ties with Al-Shabaab or any other criminal gangs.
''He is innocent…all the accusations levelled against him are false,'' one of the family members said.
