Published on October 27, 2019, a report by Daily Nation revealed that five Kenyan men are facing deportation from Bahrain after they brutally assaulted a fellow Kenyan citizen.
The incident occurred at a hostel in Bahrain where the five men were working for a security company. According to sources, the men attacked their compatriot, identified as Ramadhan, with a blunt object, leaving him with serious injuries.
One of the suspects, 20-year-old Mahseen Azwan, alias Dogo Presso, was identified as the leader of a notorious gang in Mombasa known as Temeke (TMK). The gang was blamed for a series of attacks on people in Mombasa, and their names and photos were even published on a wanted billboard by Kenyan police.
However, Presso and his team claimed to have reformed and moved to Bahrain in search of better opportunities. The five men worked for the security company until the incident that led to their arrest.
A top official at the security company was recorded scolding a recruitment agent, Jamal, for sending 'gangsters' to work in Bahrain. The official questioned how Jamal could have selected individuals with such a history and not known about their families.
