Eight witnesses testified against the accused, Abdulmajid Msallam Timami, before Mombasa Resident Magistrate Rita Orora who found him guilty of the offense.
The prosecution led by Yassir Mohamed proved its case against Abdulmajid Msallam Timami for the offense of trafficking in narcotic drugs by presenting eight witnesses in the case.
