Media Boss Accused Of Threatening To Kill Ex-Lover Challenges DDP’s Decision
A media Commercial Director accused of threatening to murder an ex-lover via text messages in 2019 has challenged the decision of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) to charge her in the High Court.
Farida Idris Mohamed, who is accused of sending multiple threatening messages to Hussein Aila Amaro on June 14 and 15, 2019 at an unspecified location, asserts that the allegations are malicious and requests that the court dismiss them.
She claims that she was in a romantic relationship with Amaro and that they were married.
Farida states that during their nine-year relationship, they incorporated Enersence Solutions Limited, where they served as directors and shareholders. Each holds 50 percent of the equity.
She claims that they parted ways in a hostile manner sometime in 2019 and that they have been embroiled in civil disputes and frivolous complaints to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) ever since.
She claims that Hussein used his connections to press for her prosecution after they were unable to reach an agreement on the amount payable.

”The criminal proceedings are in bad faith and are clearly an afterthought to hit back and express vendetta against the petitioner following their acrimonious relationship fallout and failure to settle 17 million shillings within the timeframe as demanded by the ex-lover,” reads court papers.
She asserts that the DPP failed to undertake a clear and impartial evaluation of the facts to support the charges against her.
She claims that the decision to prosecute her was an abuse of the legal system.
“The criminal case is being used to wield state power over the petitioner as a means of vexation and oppression for ulterior purposes and not as an avenue to litigate a genuine complaint or achieve any justice.”
Farida now wants the court to overturn the DPP’s decision to accuse and prosecute her.
“The actions of the respondents to charge the petitioner with the offense of threatening to kill as a clap back by using the criminal justice system to settle a civil dispute is unconstitutional and contravenes petitioners constitutional rights to equal protection…….,” reads papers filed at Milimani Law court.
She is charged with four offenses of threatening Husein’s life. In April of 2023, she contested the charges before Milimani chief magistrate Lukas Onyina and was released on cash bond.
