Sonko, Lawyer Ahmednasir 'Grand Mullah' Abdullahi Engage in a Nasty Fight on Twitter

Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko and popular city lawyer Ahmednasir Abdullahi alias Grand Mullah on Friday engaged in a nasty war of words on social networking site, Twitter.

Trouble began when Ahmednasir in a tweet suggested that President Kenyatta should dissolved Nairobi County Government, since Governor Sonko had failed.

"The County Government of Nairobi is functionally dead. It is a national disaster. It will only get worse."

 "I petition HE Uhuru Kenyatta to exercise his constitutional prerogative and disband the county government and for the national government to take over all services/functions," the lawyer added.

However, the suggestion appeared to have irked the flamboyant Governor, who hit back at the lawyer, calling him a conman.

"U conman @ahmednasirlaw after obtaining millions from your German client with all ur Cornell University degrees vs my Kamiti, Shimo Prisons & KEMU degrees I still beat U at the High Court & Court of Appeal in the Temple Point case."

"Buree kabisa (useless)& u should stop intimidating Judges," Sonko tweeted.

The lawyer swiftly responded by posting an embarrassing photo of Sonko and threatened to use it as cover for his Nairobi Law Monthly magazine.

"When Hon Governor Sonko who served only 8 months of 5 years jail term and who then escaped from prison through a rathole calls you a conman...you know we live in interesting times...," wrote the Senior Counsel.
