Police in Mombasa have launched investigations into a raid incident at Nyali CDF office by unknown individuals.

The incident took place on Sunday night.

Nyali Sub county police commander Daniel Mumasaba said that two robbers broke into the offices on Sunday Night and stole a Tv set and other valuable properties.

The matter attracted condemnation from the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party leaders led by Mombasa governor aspirant Hassan Omar who have called on police to heighten security for the area Mp, Mohammed Ali.

Omar castigated the local administration for laxity and now believes that the move was planned in search of some documents Ali holds relating to port matters.

The UDA team has been taking on the government for what it termed as taking away of port services to Naivasha and Nairobi Inland Depot as the region continues to suffer economic turmoil.

"We know this is a deliberate effort to intimidate Ali for his tough stand about port transfer affairs, we know it's a planned event to cause panic, and this must stop,” claimed Omar.

Ali has since claimed his life is in danger. He alleges that he is being targeted after raising an issue with recent developments of port operations transferred to Naivasha and Nairobi ICD.

"This attack comes a day after the Tononoka rally where we unleashed port documents and explained how the port operations were transfered, so we believe this is a planned motive,” claimed Ali.

Speaking to journalists during a UDA press briefing on Mondat,  Ali claimed the men were allegedly targeting his office because of a case he raised at the transfer of port service to Naivasha.

The office is manned by two police officers during night and two during the day.

"If anything happens to me, just know it's because of my political stand, I feel unprotected, if they don't give me security,  I will protect myself,” said Ali.

But while addressing the media at his office, Mumasaba said police treat it as a normal crime. He said they will produce more information once investigations are done.

Confirming the incident Mumasaba said police were forced to shoot in the air when they discovered a man escaping from the office compound while holding a bag and a Tv set.

“We trust it’s a normal theft because what was stolen was a Tv set. Our officers who were manning the facility shot in the air when they discovered a man loitering in the compound, he then jumped over the wall and ran away with his colleagues,” claimed Mumasaba.
