Over seven thugs, armed with machetes and other crude weapons, descended on Nyali MP Hezron Awiti's billboard at Buxton on Friday. "We took the Nyali police station route before they diverted," Timothy Odhiambo, a member of the aspirant's security detail, told reporters. Eyewitness Tony Mulei said the youths took a photo of the damaged billboard after pulling it down. This was the second time Awiti's billboard is pulled down the first being the one which county inspectorate officers destroyed. Governor candidates in Mombasa safe for incumbent Hassan Joho have been struggling to get publicity via billboards.
