Two Bloggers Accused Of Planning To Assassinate Mombasa Senator Hassan Omar

Mombasa Senator Hassan Omar is one unhappy man after what he says are two bloggers trying to assassinate him through incitement on their blogs.

The senator says that he has been threatened before over the years he has been in service but this time round he has taken seriously the threats from the bloggers because of the large following they have on social media.

The two bloggers, Mugo Wa Wairimu and Willy Omosa, are said to associate the senator with the militia group Al-Shabaab and say in their blogs that Omar should be shot at close range for being an Al-Shabaab sympathiser.

This comes after 28 Kenyans were brutally murdered in Mandera by the insurgents who infiltrated into the country and did the massacre.

Hassan Omar has been in the forefront in opposing the government’s move to raid mosques in Mombasa and close them down after they were believed to harbour terrorist activities.

Senator Omar told the Senate that the two bloggers have been busy inciting the masses against him and wanted the Senate to discuss the matter.

Raged senators said it is high time the director of public prosecutions Keriako Tobiko took up the matter and ensured the two bloggers are brought to book for trying to assassinate the senator.

Led by majority leader Prof. Kithure Kindiki and minority leader Moses Wetangula, the senators said such incidences should be taken seriously and that the life of Kenyans is not something to joke with now that insecurity is a major concern in Kenya.
