Elsewhere, Nyali Member of Parliament Mohammed Ali expressed fear for his life after unknown people ripped bullets through his office in the area.

The lawmaker said that this was the fifth time that the people have made attempts at his life.

"Yet again, for the fifth time, there has been an attack on my office. A clear indication that the person/people behind this attempt on my life are relentless to take me down," Ali said.

The vocal MP alleged that the people were after his life and that he would not be intimidated in any way because he was elected to serve the people.

"What they forget is, no human being can take the life of another except by the will of God. I will not be silenced or threatened by goons who are irked by the progress we are making for the people we serve," he said.

Police officers and some civilians gathered at the scene of the crime, looking at the windows that had been shot at by unknown gunmen.
