On Sunday, activist Boniface Mwangi was arrested for calling for an anti-government protest during a marathon in the capital.

A day later, he was released without charge. Mwangi is among the lucky ones to be freed. Over the last few days, blogger Scophine Aoko Otieno, alias Maverick Aoko, has been missing.

Members of her family say they do not know where she is, stating Aoko had received threats and had people trailing her. On X, an aide said Aoko’s troubles began when she posted about a powerful individual in the government.
