Thursday, February 6, 2025 - An attempt by suspected dealers to end the life of a police informer who is a member of the community policing in Mombasa was thwarted by good Samaritans.
This comes after area Officer Commanding Station (OCS)
Margret Musau, alias Kanini, is said to have written a statement after she
released the suspect at midnight.
She is among the several officers who face interdiction over
the same offense.
The 53-year-old Ali Abdi Komora has been on the radar of
suspected drug dealers following a resilient hunt for drug peddlers in Nyali
Constituency.
Komora is lucky to have survived an attempted murder by the
suspects who had been arrested days before they were released from custody.
Mr. Ali Abdi Komora is a member of community policing in
Matopeni village and is currently in hiding.
The attempt on his life happened following events of December
5, 2024, when he shared intelligence reports with officers from Kongowea Police
Station about a consignment of drugs that was set to arrive in his village.
Komora said that three days later, police conducted a raid
and recovered bhang wrapped in four bales and two basins.
Fourteen suspects were also arrested during the operation.
A few days later, Komora received death threats from Officer
Commanding Station (OCS) Kongowea Police Station, Margret Musau.
It was after these threats that Komora was attacked in broad
daylight at Mlango Wa Soko area in Kongowea, sustaining serious injuries.
He was rushed to Kongowea Health Centre by Good Samaritans,
where he was treated and discharged.
The matter was reported at Kongowea Police Station under OB
number 33/1/2/2025.
Komora is now appealing for financial assistance from
well-wishers to enable him to go for a CT scan (Computed Tomography scan) on
his right ribs.
In most cases, police informants are often at risk of being
attacked because they provide information about criminal activities.
The risk is especially high when the informant is involved in
serious crimes.
The matter was discussed with the county security team, but
no action has been taken against the officer who went against the police oath.
According to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime
(UNODC), informants often desire to remain anonymous.
The irate locals are now calling upon the Interior Ministry to act with speed and restore police integrity.
