Human rights crusader Boniface Mwangi said he went into hiding on Friday after discovering that rogue Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) officers were planning to arrest him.
Mwangi disclosed in a social media post on Saturday that DCI officers had intended to arrest him on Friday at City Mortuary, where he went to view the body of Rex Kanyike, a young man shot by a police officer during demonstrations in Nairobi.
“I just survived a possible kidnapping attempt by @DCI_Kenya officers.
“Anyone who stands between the will of the people shall fail.
“I’m going to be offline. Continue with the struggle!,” Mwangi wrote on his X platform.
The Award-winning photographer is among the social media influencers being sought by the police for allegedly organizing the demonstrations that have disrupted the Kenya Kwanza Alliance government.
