Mombasa Governor Ali Hassan Joho has been ambushed on his way to Uhuru Park.

Unconfirmed reports said Joho was ambushed by more than 50 flying squad officers along Jakaya Kikwete Road in Nairobi while on his way to Uhuru Park for NASA leader Raila Odinga and his Deputy Kalonzo Musyoka's swearing-in.

The flying squad officers reportedly ordered Joho's security detail out of his convoy and were disarmed on the spot.

Earlier, Jomvu MP Badi Twalib had shared photos of Joho, alongside him and other Mombasa leaders preparing to leave for Uhuru Park.
