This is the intelligence that Hassan Joho received that made him vacate his Nyali house IMMEDIATELY

Mombasa governor moved out of his house in Nyali last week following friction with the national government. Apparently Joho received intelligence that made him make the move.

Sometimes last week, Flying Squad officers raided and ransacked the house of a close ally of Mombasa governor.

Coast Regional Coordinator, Nelson Marwa , said the government was planning to mop up illegal guns at the Coast ahead of the August general election; he further revealed the operation was mainly targeting licensed owners, especially VIPs, who were abusing the privilege.

The squabble between Mombasa governor and president Uhuru is thought to be the reason why the government is now targeting certain people in Mombasa.

Speaking outside Mombasa county headquarters during the official launch of voter registration in his county, Hassan Joho said he rejected new police officers sent to guard his home after receiving intelligence reports that there was a scheme to eliminate him.

The Mombasa governor claimed he received reliable information that the government was planning to use the new security officers to plant drugs and firearms in his residence in Nyali.

“I have rejected the State bodyguards because I had reliable information Jubilee was planning to plant illegal guns in my residence and spy on me using such officers. I would rather protect myself than allow these people to stay around me,” Joho spoke.
