Mombasa Governor Abdulswamad Nassir has recorded a statement at the Regional Police Headquarters regarding the abduction and sodomy of blogger Bruce John three weeks ago.
According to Bruce, a group of about 20 county officers abducted him at his home in Bamburi on September 12 for criticizing Nassir's leadership before assaulting and taking turns sexually assaulting him in the Miritini area.
Speaking in Mombasa, Nassir urged the police to expedite investigations into the inhumane incident.
"Nimejileta hapa kwa hiari yangu kwa sababu hakuna yeyote yuko juu ya sheria. Hicho kitendo lazima kiweze kulaaniwa," said Nassir.
"Lazima haki iweze kupatikana kwa huyu kijna na vitendo kama hivi. Nimeomba DCI waweze kuharakisha na waweze kumaliza hili jambo ili kijana aweze kupata haki yake."
