Gossip blogger Edgar Obare claims he has been arrested by Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations.
According to Obare, several officers stormed his Kisumu home on Thursday morning and whisked him away. He is being escorted to Nairobi.
According to Obare, several officers stormed his Kisumu home on Thursday morning and whisked him away. He is being escorted to Nairobi.
Obare was summoned by DCI early this week over a social media post about Mombasa Governor Ali Hassan Joho and You-tuber Natalie Tewa.
"As I said earlier I was summoned by the DCI. Today morning I was arrested by very many officers at my home. Thank you for your undying support," Obare wrote while on his way back to Nairobi.
He posted a message on social media thanking his followers for their support even as his lawyer Titus Munene Kinyua confirmed the arrest.
Natalie Tewa herself hinted of this development regarding Edgar yesterday.
We have such a terrible culture of tearing other people down in the name of gossip. There’s already too much negativity in this world, contributing to it doesn’t improve your life or take you higher. Instead use your time wisely, because every minute of our lives counts.
