The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) officers on Friday, May 16, intervened to stop the attempted grabbing of the historic Kongo Mosque, a centuries-old heritage site in Mombasa County.
Led by the EACC Chief Executive Officer, Abdi Mohamud, the anti-graft detectives launched immediate investigations shortly after receiving a tip-off from residents.
After weeks of probing, the officers in May this year secured orders barring any parties from interfering with the property.
The EACC also wrote to the Ministry of Lands, instructing it to halt any transactions involving the contested property.
