Mombasa Governor Hassan Ali Joho has condemned the Sunday morning attack on the Central Police Station that has left two police officers wounded.
Joho lauded the security personnel for the swift response to the attack in which the three female assailants were killed.
“It is unfortunate that we wake up to this incident, especially on a day when Hajj is being conducted. It is a dark day in Mombasa,” said Joho who termed the incident a ‘heinous crime’.
“I urge the security agencies to publish the names and pictures of the attackers so that we investigate their background and help curb such incidents in the future,” said Joho who spoke shortly after the attack.
He urged the residents to stay calm as security agencies were on high alert on all public places.
