Mombasa Governor Nassir Abdulswamad has finally broken his silence on the viral case of sexually assaulted blogger allegedly sodomized by individuals known to the Governor.
Speaking during a press briefing in his Mombasa Office on Monday, Governor Nassir said that he is not in any way involved in the acts against the blogger despite the victim of the alleged gang rape sent him over 800 messages using different mobile phone numbers
“This young man has sent me text messages in excess of 800 messages through different numbers. I’ve never responded to any one of those messages. I’ve been in politics for in excess of a decade and throughout my life, neither myself nor any of my family members have ever crossed the line of meting any form of violence on anyone.”

“When I go out on public platforms, my policy is a policy of never mentioning anyone, talking vulgarly, or doing anything. It’s a bit shocking that it is now being deemed for the public perception that both myself and my 74-year-old mother would be part and parcel of a heinous act of this magnitude. We have never nor will we ever stoop that low.”
This comes after his right-hand man – the Mombasa County Executive Committee Member for Lands Mohamed Hussein, alias Amadoh was released after being arrested in connection with the indecent act on the blogger that has now gone viral.
