Be warned, the police won’t leave any stone unturned in their mission to smoke out anyone with links to Al Shabaab. Egerton University student was arrested for propagating terror threats on social media.

Robert Mungai Kariuki is the latest person netted by the police for his activities on social media. Many thought social networking platforms were the safest place to vomit whatever they feel about but now it seems security organs have an eagle’s eye over there too.

Mungai was said to be the mastermind of the social media messages spreading Al Shabaab’s shenanigans. He posted the messages on a Facebook group called ‘Egerton Campus Life’.

The message read; “We are not joking and if you think we are, wait for us. Garissa is nothing compared to what we will do at Egerton University, Allah is to be worship. We have spies and maps of the whole Egerton.”

Mungai is said to have fled from Egerton after posting his message. The police had placed a Kes 2 million bounty on his head.

Nakuru County Police Commander, John Koki Mwanga, confirmed Mungai’s arrest saying he was taken to Njoro Police Station for questioning.

Details of his arrest are still scanty, it’s still not known whether the police will gather enough evidence to charge him in a court of law.
