MHRF STATEMENT ON THE EXTRA-JUDICIAL KILLING OF MOMBASA MUSLIM CLERIC SHEIKH ABOUD ROGO
The Muslim Human Rights Forum (MHRF) strongly condemns the extra-judicial killing of Sheikh Aboud Rogo in Mombasa this morning and calls for an end to targeted killings and enforced disappearances of terrorism suspects.
Sh. Rogo was assassinated this morning in the Bamburi area in an incident that mirrors recent others targeting people who were on the country’s terrorism watch list and who have either been killed or mysteriously disappeared after being waylaid by gunmen. and pulled out of vehicles they were travelling in. In this mornings incident Rogo was killed when the van he was travelling in from Mtwapa towards Mombasa with three other people on board was sprayed with bullets near Pirates Beach. His wife Ms. Haniya Sayyed Saggar who was with him was grievously injured and is undergoing treatment at the Mewa Hospital where she was admitted following the shooting.
Only a month ago Rogo and his co-accused in a case still pending in a Nairobi court Abubakar Shariff Ahmed survived an abduction attempt by gunmen they claimed were state agents who accosted them as they arrived in the city for a hearing of the case forcing them to seek an adjournment and a transfer of the case from Nairobi as they feared for their lives and security. The early morning abduction was foiled by members of the public who came to their aid as the two shouted for help as they resisted the heavily armed men. Both Rogo and Shariff recorded statements about the incident at the Kamukunji Police Station, Nairobi in which they expressed fears for their lives.
In April this year another Mombasa-based Muslim activist and preacher Samir Hashim Khan together with a blind colleague Mohamed Bekhit Kassim were pulled out of a matatu they were travelling in near the Nakumatt Likoni Branch just for Khan’s badly mutilated body to be found dumped on the wayside in the Tsavo National park along the Mombasa- Nairobi highway two days later. Kassim has never been found nor been heard of to date and is feared dead. Like Rogo, Khan had cases of alleged terrorism pending in court in Nairobi and Mombasa.
And in May this year another suspect Sylvester Opiyo a/k/a Musa Osodo and a friend Jacob Musyoka a/k/a Yaqub Musyoka were abducted near Molo from a vehicle they were travelling in to Kisumu; never to be heard of or seen since then. Opiyo too had a case pending in a Nairobi court when he disappeared. According to eyewitnesses his abductors questioned him about his presence in the area where the vehicle he was travelling in had broken down before they took him away.
In June, two of Opyo’s co-accused in the same case Jeremiah Onyango Okumu a/k/a Mohamed Jaffar and Stephen Mwanzia Osaka a/k/a SalimAbbas together with two other people Omar Shwaib and Salim Abubakar were abducted in Kisauni, Mombasa as they were heading towards Likoni and also disappeared without trace. All disappearances were reported to the police but no news about outcomes of any investigations has been given to their kin.
Three weeks before he disappeared, Mr. Kassim, a blind man from Kibera in Nairobi, had been abducted from outside Nairobi’s Jamia Mosque by men who manhandled him into a waiting car and drove him around the city questioning him for alleged motor vehicle theft and who later dumped him in the outskirts of the city with warnings that they were “not through with him.”
After Mr Kassim-Bakhit’s first abduction his lawyer Mr. Mbugua Mureithi, who was also the lawyer for the other disappeared accused persons had complained in a letter to the commissioner of police about threats to the life of his blind client warning that the abduction could be a prelude to an enforced disappearance or an extra-judicial killing. He demanded an explanation about the illegal arrest and an assurance about Mr. Kassim-Bakhit’s safety from the police boss. There was no response to the letter.
Once again we at the MHRF demand that the government institutes an independent probe into these abductions and killings and bring the officers found culpable to book. We also demand an explanation by the commissioner of police and the commandant of the anti-terrorism police unit as to the circumstances that led to the killing of Mr. Rogo and the mysterious disappearance of all the suspects named here and the steps being taken to apprehend the culprits since they are known, whether they were acting on orders or not. The government must denounce this dangerous policy and assure the nation that extra-judicial killings and illegal abductions will not continue to be employed in police operations. Due process must be left to take its course once suspects are arraigned in court while investigations must be carried out strictly in accordance with the law.
We are shocked that the so called war on terror has gained this frightening dimension above the usually heavy handed methods employed by the anti-terrorism agencies in the past. It is no doubt a very frightening and dangerous trend which if unchecked is bound to fan extremism rather than curtail it. Extra-judicial extermination of suspects is an anarchic policing method that is as illegal as it is barbaric, heinous and grossly dehumanizing and cannot be condoned in a society that claims to uphold human rights and the rule of law.
We call on Kenyans to see this killing and the as a throwback to a few years gone by when the preferred method of dealing with suspected members of criminal gangs was extermination by killer squads which wiped out hundreds of youth in Nairobi and Central provinces. Extending extra-judicial killings to counter-terrorism operations will be opening another dangerous front right inside the country even as the recent spate of grenade attacks remains a mystery while the war against the Al-Shabaab is far from being won.
The government has to demonstrate its commitment to human rights by coming clean on these abductions and taking firm measures to stop these dangerous extra-judicial policing methods.

Our not-so-covert extrajudicial assassination squads like Kwekwe must be trying too catch the eye of the U.S. (also save them a few drone missiles); to justify their continued existence right now when police reforms are beckoning - with the constitutionality of Police leadership itself in question.
I won't be surprised more Muslim clerics are executed in the run-up to the elections...
The cops can freely indulge in drug trafficking, election rigging, execution of citizens by extrajudicial means, and it's all business as usual.

If muslims at the coast and everywhere else in the country link Raila to Obama, (Obama son of kogelo), they may be turned off Raila.
If they percive Raila as close to Obama who sends assasins to eliminate their clergy that may not bode well for ODM in terms of their votes.

I thought that's Kenya not Pakistan, Iraq or Afganistan. |

I think its rather pathetic and desperate on your part. |

Don't be stupid Kathure. so much hinges on ethnicities in kenya. So, rather than call me stupid and or on top of calling me stupid explain to me how this isn't plausible. that's all. If I'm wrong then hopefully i'll learn from yours or other people's explanations. that name calling feels like a threat. Am I right or wrong on that? it's not open season on me here you know. pass the word around. |

If they percive Raila as close to Obama who sends assasins to eliminate their clergy that may not bode well for ODM in terms of their votes. Your assertions would be correct if stated as follows: If radical muslims at the coast and everywhere else in the country link Raila to Obama, ( Obama son of kogelo), they may be turned off Raila. If they (radical Muslims) percive Raila as close to Obama who sends assasins to eliminate known terrorists, clergy or not that may not bode well for ODM in terms of their votes. Mainstream Muslims never see the war against terrorism as war against their religion. Parliament should act on the stalled anti-terrorism bill--yes working with the Muslim community and get this law into the books to better and more effectively combat terrorism in the country. |

CONDOLENCES & APPEAL FOR CALM ON SHEIKH ROGO’S DEATH:
A few hours ago, we got this surprising news of the fatal shooting of Sheikh Aboud Rogo in Mombasa.
I am shocked and saddened by this horrific and tragic shooting that came in a day and a time the country is celebrating the second anniversary of the new constitution and hosting a conference on peace.
It is even more shocking that Sheikh Rogo was killed while taking his sick wife to hospital. I offer condolences to family and friends of Sheikh Rogo, and more so to his widow, Haniya Said Saval.
I am equally saddened by the violence and the destruction that has followed the shooting incident. I want to appeal to our people in Mombasa to exercise restraint and allow the government to get to the bottom of the matter.
We are committed to bringing whoever was responsible to justice. I appeal to our people not to use this sad act to inflict more pain and suffering on our country. Let us come together in calm instead and join hands in order to get to the bottom of the murder.
RAILA A. ODINGA.

This as low as a desperate person singing Miguna's praises while trying to link and tarnish the PM's name at anything they can hang on to... Bure Kabisa Maybe Miguna and his goons of handlers arranged this murder! si he was in Mombasa, Just after lhe left... a top cleric is assassinated... what is the connection.. If one wants to play dirty with peoples names.. so too can others play dirty by linking those that they glorify like Migina "come baby come" aka Robot voters' |
