MYSTERIOUS MURDER IN MOMBASA
Earlier on
Sunday, as Muslims were celebrating Eid Ul Adha celebrations all over the
country, the celebration took a different twist in Mombasa county. One of the Mombasa
County workers official Taufiq Abdalla under the ministry of environment got
killed by unknown people.
Taufiq
Abdalla was in the company of his family and friends whom they were preparing
to head to a nearby mosque for prayers in Old Town. It was here when a gang of
three whose faces were covered approached them on a motorcycle. The three men
shot the late Taufiq severally on his head and chest leaving him to death.
The area
police confirmed the incident saying they found the body of the late Taufiq
lying lifeless on the pavement of his house. They however revealed that the
CCTV footages around where Taufiq stayed are yet to produce concrete information
concerning who killed him and why. The police have however not arrested anyone
in relation to the three suspects but claimed that thorough investigations have
begun.
The body of
the late Taufiq was taken to Coast General hospital where a post-mortem was
carried out on it. He was later buried according to Muslim customs.
Muslim Religious
leaders from the mosque he was headed to have however condemned the act terming
it as inhuman. They claimed that the day was meant for Muslims to merry and thank
God for the far they had come only for one of theirs to be murdered in a brutal
manner. They also asked the government to speed up investigations on who killed
the late Taufiq and put him behind bars.
