Business was interrupted at the Likoni Ferry in Mombasa on the morning of Wednesday, February 5, after ferry boarders attacked security officers who were blocking them from boarding the ferry.

Speaking to Kenyans.co.ke shortly after the incident, Kenya National Private Security Workers Union (KNPSWU) Secretary General Isaac Andambwa revealed that chaos erupted when the ferry failed to reach the picking point at the stipulated time and customers, while in a hurry to board, started jumping over the wall to get in.

In a bid to prevent them from endangering their lives, the security officers tried to block them from jumping over the ferry entrance.

That was when all hell broke loose, and in resistance, the passengers attacked the security officers, throwing stones at them as they forcefully entered the ferry.
