<p>In an apparent reference to a post on a Facebook page called &#8220;Dandora Love People&#8221; in March warning the woman and others that the law would catch up with them, the Facebook user went on to recall a warning to Clare to stop carrying the gun for her husband.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p>“Sabrina Hassan, <em>Mungu alikuokoa</em> (Sabrina Hassan, God saved you),” Hessy said in the post on the &#8220;Kayole Crime Free&#8221; and &#8220;Dandora Crime Free&#8221; Facebook pages and warned another woman to stop her criminal activities.</p>
