Two women were arraigned in court on allegations of assaulting a Norwegian national. Fihima Yusuf Abdillahi and Hibo Mohamood Abdulahi were presented before a court in Kibera for causing bodily harm to the complainant.
The two were charged alongside Rayan Abukar Ali, who failed to appear in court over claims that she was unwell. They allegedly assaulted a Norwegian citizen, Maria Abdisalam Ali, occasioning her bodily harm. The court heard that they committed the offence at Lenox apartments in Kilimani area, Nairobi, on July 25 this year.
They denied the charges and are out on bond. They jointly appeared before Kibera Senior Principal Magistrate Samson Temu, where the first accused person requested the court to allow her to change her plea. In response, the magistrate said that it was difficult for the court to grant her the said rights in the absence of the second accused person. The magistrate directed that the case be mentioned on September 19 for further directions.
