The Director of Public Prosecutions has ordered the arrest and arraignment of Isiolo Governor Ibrahim Abdi Hassan, also known as Guyo, and seven others over the alleged kidnapping and robbery of a former county health chief in Machakos in June.
The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) in a statement on Friday, September 5, said the decision followed a review of an inquiry file from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations.
According to the ODPP, former Isiolo County Chief Officer of Health Abdirahaman Mohamed and 15 Members of County Assembly supporting the governor's impeachment were meeting at Outbark Hotel in Maanzoni on Thursday, June 19, when the governor and his supporters arrived.
Acting on the governor's instructions, the group allegedly disarmed and assaulted Abdirahaman before forcing him into a vehicle.
