Mombasa businessman Abubakar Joho has suffered a blow after a Mombasa court withdrew charges against Matilda Kinzani, who had been charged with defamation and cybercrime charges.

Kinzani was charged last year after the businessman, who is the elder brother of Mining Cabinet Secretary Mr Hassan Joho, had claimed that she had circulated a letter claiming that he and his brother had stolen money from Mombasa County.

It was alleged that the accused claimed that the businessman was a drug dealer and further claimed that their late mother was a slut.
