A member of County assembly Lamu is likely to lose his seat after he was found guilty of planning and attempting to break out three convicted drug traffickers from prison.
Mkomani Ward MCA Yahya Ahmed Shee was arrested and detained at Hindi GK Prison in Lamu West ahead of being arraigned in court for sentencing.
He was charged with six counts, including forcefully attempting to break free one of the convicts who was sentenced to 20 years for drug peddling on June 2, 2017.
The second and third counts were trying to break out the two other convicts who had been jailed for 10 years and 5 years respectively.
Ahmed’s fourth charge was obstructing police and tampering with evidence. The fifth and sixth were resisting arrest and participating in illegal riots.
Lamu Principal Magistrate Allan Temba will be making a ruling on April 6 after carefully reviewing exhibits tabled by the prosecution and the evidence by witnesses.
“The court found that the prosecution had adduced evidence beyond reasonable doubt that the accused committed the offences,” said Temba.
