Summary:
Ndoro Mwembe, the victim was shot dead at around 0600hrs after he charged towards a military vehicle hurling stones and injuring 6 peoples on board the vehicle.
Mwembe has been linked with a separatist group operating at the coast with reports confirming his radicalized status into the extremist group. Despite unwarranted outcry of foul play in his killing and unstable mental health, some family members have expressed doubt citing a long absence from home.
The victim has a criminal record and his alleged mental instability was a cover story to gain access to the Navy base or conduct reconnaissance for the extremist group his was radicalized into.
Isolated cases of radicalized youths used as decoys or ‘information collectors’ for extremist groups have been reported at the coast. The intelligence service and Navy intelligence have launched a thorough investigation into Mwembe and any of his known acquaintances.
