Some protesters in Mombasa, Kenya, have set a church ablaze following the killing of a Muslim Cleric Ibrahim “Rogo” Omar, CEOAFRICA.com gathered.

Sources said Mr. Omar was shot dead along with three other people in Mombasa as they drove home on yesterday night after preaching.

According to a senior police officer, the Salvation Army church was burnt while police have repulsed rioters with tear gas.

Mr Omar's killing is similar to that of Aboud Rogo Mohammed last year, which sparked days of rioting by Muslims in Mombasa.

Mr Rogo was alleged to have links with al-Shabab and some Muslims accused the Kenyan security forces of killing him, an allegation they strongly denied.
