Uproar followed the news on 16 May that British tourists were being shipped home from Mombasa on security advice. Tourists, inconvenienced and disappointed, were sceptical of the threat.
Mkurugenzi Mkuu wa Ewura, Felix Ngamlagosi alisema jana kuwa ingawa hakuzungumza na Gashaza baada ya kurudi kutoka Dodoma, taarifa za polisi na kutoka kwa mkewe zinaeleza kuwa alirudi akiwa na hofu na ndiyo sababu ya kuondoka nyumbani kwake na kwenda kulala hotelini.
