Boda boda operators protest arrest of colleague

Boda boda operators protest arrest of colleague

Boda boda operators in Kwale’s Kona area Wednesday afternoon staged demonstrations following the arrest of one of their colleagues by police officers over allegations of being a member of a terror group.

The police officers, from the Anti-Terror Police Unit (ATPU) and attached to Millennium I Ukunda post, are said to have arrested the man and drove away with him using a vehicle with a civilian registration plate.

The boda boda operators want to know the reason behind the arrest of their colleague, identified as Riziki Bora, and whom they believe is being detained at the Millennium Police Post.

This comes barely a month after two boda boda operators; Ali Mwaraphonze and Juma Makofia, went missing after a similar arrest.

The irate boda boda operators have accused Kwale police of bulldozing them and carrying out arrests without reasons.
