On the day that the world was celebrating World Press Freedom Day, some four filmmakers spent the night in the cold cells in Nairobi.
Nicholas Wambugu, Brian Adagala, Chris Wamae, and Mark Denver Karubiu were arrested on Friday evening at their office in Karen, Nairobi and detained at Pangani and Muthaiga police stations respectively, leading to public uproar mostly on social media platforms.
Reportedly, they were questioned in connection with the production of BBC's Blood Parliament before being released on free bond in Saturday mid-morning hours.
Throughout Friday night, Kenyans on various online platforms pushed for the release of the four with the majority that the arrest was uncalled for.
