كينيا: استنكار سلبية المسؤولين تجاه تكرار مقتل الدعاة

خبر من مصادر إنجليزية.

تعرض أحد الدعاة الكينيين - ويدعى الشيخ "حمادي بوجا"، ويبلغ من العمر 36 عامًا - لجريمة اغتيال بعد أن أطلق عليه مجهولان النار بمدينة "كوالي" على بعد دقائق من المسجد بعد صلاة العشاء؛ مما أدى إلى مصرعه في الحال.

وذكر شهود العيان أن مسلحَين يركبان دراجة نارية أطلقا عليه النار ولاذا بالفرار.

وأكد أقاربه وجيرانه أنه كان نموذجًا للمسلم المتعاون الإيجابي؛ حيث كان يساعد الشرطة في مكافحة الجريمة ويمدهم بالمعلومات.

وقد ألقت الأسرة والدعاة الآخرون باللائمة على الشرطة لتقاعسها عن التصدي لهذه الحوادث المتكررة، والتقصير في التعرف على الجناة وضبطهم؛ المصدر: شبكة الألوكة.

Kenya: Another Muslim Cleric Gunned Down in Diani

A Muslim cleric has been shot dead by two gunmen at Kona ya Musa in Diani, Kwale county. Hamadi Boga, 36, was shot in the head unknown people a few metres from his business some minutes after evening prayers on Wednesday.

Sources said nothing was stolen from Hamadi, who is a cousin to Bongwe Gombato ward representative Omar Boga. Omar said his relative was killed by two men who arrived in a motorcycle and left to an unknown destination. "If someone can comes from the mosque and he is killed, then it is dangerous for everybody," he said.

Omar said Hamadi was a community health worker apart from the small business he was running. Muslim clerics blamed the police for the killing. They said urgent measures should be taken to curb such incidents, which are on the rise targeting particular people. But police dismissed the claims and said Hamadi might have been killed for his cooperation with police.

"The man was very close to police giving them information all the time. We believe there is a group, which is not happy and killed him but not police. Why would police kill an innocent person?" said a senior police officer. Recently, a man was beheaded by unknown people after being abducted in Malindi for allegedly being a double agent for police and Al Shabaab.

His head has not been found to date. Council of Imams and Preachers of Kenya South Coast branch chair Sheikh Amir Banda said it is unfortunate that innocent people are being targeted in South Coast.

"Two weeks ago someone was gunned down at Tiwi in similar circumstances because nothing was stolen from him. Today, the same incident happened to another person and I wonder what the police want us to believe," he said. Banda said there is no probability of thugs having been involved in such killings since nothing is stolen from the victims.

Msambweni AP boss Wilson Gichuhi said the assailants might have been people well known Hamadi and even communicated to him.
