South Fulton officials have reinstated Mayor Kobi’s access to government property.
On Feb. 18, Mayor Kobi, formerly known as Mayor Khalid, was allowed to return to South Fulton County government property with restrictions.
According to a press release, Kobi can access government buildings, including his office. However, his access will not be fully restored.
After conferring with the city attorney, Mayor Kobi will no longer have access to a city-issued vehicle and will be barred from reviewing the South Fulton budget.
The Fulton County Police Department released bodycam footage of the mayor being escorted off government property.
“Mayor, I’ve been instructed not to allow you in your office and also, you aren’t permitted to operate a city vehicle…coming directly from the City Manager and the chief,” an officer said.
“They took my keys. They kicked me out of my office. They kicked my staff out of my office. They took my car,” he said.
Kobi says a financial audit of the county credit card would disprove many of the accusations. He insists he relied on the generosity of friends for his lodging abroad.
An investigation into the Kobi’s alleged misuse of government funds is ongoing.
