Locals call for action after shooting of teenagerRabai leaders have called for the interdiction of a senior police officer accused of shooting a 17-year-old boy. According to Rabai sub-county police commander David Maina, the boy, Bakari Mohammed, was shot in the chest and is now hospitalised in Mombasa. The officer allegedly shot the boy while on patrol at Bambam area on Kaloleni-Mazeras road. Former Rabai-Kisurutini MCA Kenga Mupe said the officer should be suspended since he might interfere with investigations. Residents interviewed said the shooting reminded them of Asha Kwekwe, a woman who was shot dead by a senior police officer from the same station in 2015.
