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.
