The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has come under heavy criticism following the arrest of human rights activist Boniface Mwangi on Saturday.
Kenyans flooded social media platforms to express outrage after the DCI posted an update on Mwangi's arrest at his Lukenya home. By the time of going to press, the DCI's Facebook post had drawn over 5,000 comments and 180 shares, with the majority of users dismissing or questioning the agency's findings.
DCI said Mwangi was arrested in connection with the facilitation of terrorist activities during the June 25, 2025, protests.
During the arrest, detectives recovered two mobile phones, a laptop, and several notebooks.
