Mob turns on 'drug barons'
07/02/2009 19:32 - (SA)

Mombasa - More than 6,000 villagers torched the
homes of four suspected Kenyan drug barons in
the coastal city of Malindi on Saturday to
protest against the release of one of them on
bail, witnesses said.

Armed with crude weapons, the mob tried to seek
out the four and when they failed to find them,
set fire to their homes and stood guard to
ensure they were reduced to ashes.

A Malindi court had released a notorious drug
dealer who had been arrested two weeks earlier
in possession of heroin and other narcotics.

The mob was led by local council official
Ibrahim Abdi Athman who said the four suspects
narrowly escaped being lynched.

"We are tired of these people because they have
caused the death of 94 youths in Watamu alone
since 1992 and more than 30 others are in
critical condition after abusing drugs," said
Ibrahim.

"In fact we did not have the intention of
torching the buildings," he said. "We went to
those buildings to kill the suspects, but when
we missed them, we had to destroy their
property," he told AFP.

Drug barons are like jail/prison builders. They deserve everything coming to them.
