A man who used abusive language telling his fellow man that he will make love to him and his mother was on Friday arraigned at a Kibera court.

Wako Boru Dida was arraigned before Kibera senior principal magistrate Esther Boke where he was charged with the offence of creating disturbance.

He pleaded guilty.

The charge sheet read that without any reasonable doubt, created disturbance by using abusive language to Jarso Gimda Roba, saying he will make love with him and do the same to his mother.

According to court prosecutor Nancy Kerubo, the accused approached the complainant when he was in deep sea slums in Parklands within Nairobi county.

“The complainant in this case was in Parklands at the Deep Sea when he was approached by the accused and uttered the abusive words to him three times,” Kerubo told court.

The court heard that Dida had used the words severally and the same had been reported to the Borana elders within the area who intervened and reconciled the two, but the accused repeated the insult forcing the matter to be reported to the police.

In his mitigation Dida urged the magistrate to forgive him and promised never to repeat the offence.

Boke ordered him to pay a Sh5,000 fine or spent five months in jail.

She gave him 14 days to appeal if he so wished.
