A Mombasa tycoon who had been earlier charged with incitement to violence has been shot dead.
Mohamed Shahid Butt the owner of Modern Coast bus service was in a private salon car from the Moi International airport in Mombasa, where he had just picked his son who had landed from London.
The incident occurred at around 8.15pm when a black car which was trailing stopped at Chaani area, and two people alighted and shot at him.
The vehicle which had five occupants had pulled over and blocked his way after overtaking him. They shot at him at close range and drove off.
The son, whose name we are yet to confirm, was slightly injured.
A family friend, Salim Sumra, confirmed the incident.
Robert Kitur county commander, was also at the scene and confirmed the details. He is to brief the press shortly.
Butt, who owns a chain of businesses in the country, including the fleet of Modern Coast buses, had last year been charged in court over his alleged involvement (funding) of terror activities.
Kitur dismissed reports that Changamwe police station had been attacked but said the attackers shot is the air when fleeing from the area. It was then that police at the station took cover raising fear that the station had been attacked.
