Mombasa, Kenya: Civil society groups have postponed protests which were scheduled to take place on Friday afternoon in Mombasa.
The civil society has however demanded for the immediate transfer of County Commissioner Marwa over shoot to kill remarks.
Muslim leaders had given the Government a three-day ultimatum that ends Friday, to reveal the people who were behind Tuesday’s killing of radical preacher Sheikh Abubakar Sharif alias Makaburi, failure to which they would hold a mass protest.
The leaders have, however, warned the faithful to shun any protests planned after prayers Friday.
A top official within Mombasa’s police establishment told The Standard last evening: “We have been given firm instructions that any gathering which can lead to violence has to be broken up and will not be allowed.”
Thursday the US embassy in Nairobi warned its citizens against visiting Mombasa following Tuesday’s killing of Makaburi.
