19 Year Old Boda Boda rider gunned down today morning by a Navy soldier for trespassing in Mtongwe, Mombasa.

According to reports, the man identified as Leonard Komora had gone to pick a customer at the Mtongwe army quarters when he met his death at around 6.45 AM.

Likoni Sub-County Police Commander Jane Munyoki said the man was shot over alleged trespass.

“The report we have is that the rider was shot at for trespass. We have started further investigations,” said Munyoki.

Local Boda Boda operators however dismissed the claims saying it’s normal for them to pick and drop customers, mostly Navy officers, in the area.
