A petition has been filed before the Public Service Commission (PSC) seeking the removal of Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Renson Ingonga from office.

The petition, filed by city businessman Hussein Aila Amaro, accuses the DPP of misconduct following the contentious withdrawal of a criminal case involving death threats against him.

The threats are alleged to have been perpetrated by his former lover, Farida Idris Mohamed.
