A Zanzibar High Court has issued an arrest warrant against former Zanzibar intelligence boss, Mohammed Hija for violating its orders on house demolition.
The order, was served on him by the court’s Deputy Registrar, Essaya Kayange.
The order requires Kumekucha Co-operative Auctioneers to pull down Shakani houses that belongs to affluent people in the area.
The houses are located within West Unguja District.
The court directed Mjini Magharibi Regional Police Commander, Bakari Khatibu Shaaban to arrest the former spy chief and former Shakani CCM secretary Khatib Abdalla Makame, among others.
’The court reminds you that the order to arrest and produce you – Mohammed Hija and Khatib Abdalla – in court is still in force. The order ought to be implemented as it is,’ Kayange said in the warrant.
The order comes in the wake of two abortive similar directives issued earlier to people obstructing the demolition of houses built illegally on a plot owned by Abdalla Ahmed Sharif (80).
The first arrest order was issued to the same people on February 28th and later on March 30th, this year.
However, the Mjini Magharibi police have not enforced the order to date.
The order, requires the chairman of Kumekucha Co-operative Auctioneers Ally Abdallah Ahmed to team with the police to enforce the demolition orders.
