Mr Saburi, a COVID-19 survivor, is set to face charges for refusing to isolate himself after arriving from Germany.


He was taken to Urban Police Headquarters where he was questioned.
Mr Saburi is accused of not isolating himself upon his arrival from Germany as required by the government in the fight against coronavirus.


Locals took to the social media to condemn the deputy governor, referring to him as a “selfish and irresponsible leader” who has put the lives of many Kilifi residents at risk.
