Artista tanzaniano Matonya é solto sob fiança da prisão de Shimo la Tewa

O artista tanzaniano de Bongo Flava Sefu Shabani Ramadhan, conhecido como Matonya, foi solto sob fiança da prisão de Shimo la Tewa após mais de 20 dias sob custódia por acusações de estupro. Ele foi liberado na noite de terça-feira após cumprir as condições do Tribunal de Shanzu. O caso tem nova audiência marcada para 30 de abril.

Matonya foi acusado em 9 de abril de estupro, em desacordo com a lei, após alegações de que o crime teria ocorrido em 7 de abril em uma casa em Nyali, no condado de Mombasa. Ele enfrenta uma acusação alternativa de prática de ato indecente com um adulto. O Tribunal de Shanzu concedeu fiança de 500.000 xelins, mas negou a opção de pagamento em espécie devido ao seu status de não queniano.

As condições exigiam que ele entregasse seu passaporte e o proibiam de deixar o Quênia sem autorização judicial. O tribunal ordenou que o departamento de imigração emitisse um aviso impedindo sua saída do país.

Rashid Naaman, que acompanhou o processo de fiança, confirmou a libertação na noite de terça-feira após a apresentação de documentos, incluindo cartas seladas de imigração. Foram necessárias mais de três semanas para conseguir um fiador queniano e concluir todos os procedimentos.
