Mombasa County Commissioner, Mohamed Nur, has issued a stern warning to perpetrators and abettors of Gender Based Violence in Mombasa, vowing not to relent until they are apprehended and charged.
The sentiments from the Nur come against the backdrop of two cases of femicide involving a Senior Officer of the Independent Electoral and Boundary Commission, Ms Aisha Abubakar, who was brutally killed in Kisauni Sub-County and another case of a Ms Jane Achieng, whose headless body was found stuck in a gunny bag and dumped in a dumpsite in Likoni Sub-County.
Speaking during a public hearing convened by the Presidential Technical Working Group on Gender-Based Violence (GBV), including Femicide, the CC confirmed that they have apprehended all the suspects in the gruesome murders, and the cases are ongoing in court. "To those committing these crimes, especially defilement and sodomy, their days are numbered.
Crime does not pay, we will arrest you from your hideouts," said the CC, adding that they are investigating abuse incidents against children in orphanages.
