We in the strongest terms possible condemn any arbitrary arrests visited upon innocent Muslim faithful in the pretext of fighting terror,” said Joho. Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho has urged security officials in the county to be vigilant and ensure peace during the month of Ramadhan. Speaking in Mombasa on Monday after Mombasa County Commissioner Mohamed Maalim issued a terror attack alert, the governor urged police not to harass Muslims under the pretext of fighting terrorism. “The security apparatus in the area must work hand in hand with the public, county administration and all stakeholders to defeat terror,” he added. The governor reiterated that they were more than willing to cooperate in the fight against terror.
