Bonface Mwangi Shares A Text Robert Alai Sent Him From Jail

As reported by Ghafla Kenya’s Cabu Gah through his Cabu Gah Diaries, controversial blogger Robert Alai found himself on the wrong side of the ‘law’ when he shared personal contacts of the country’s top leaders through his social media accounts.

Then, it was not clear whether indeed Alai had been arrested or not.

However, it is now emerging that indeed Alai is behind bars in Muthaiga Police Station after activist Bonface Mwangi shared a message he claims was sent by Alai from the cells.

The message says that Alai was arrested because he criticized what the president was doing in Kibera and not because he shared his personal contacts to the public as it is said.

The blogger has been a strong critic of the Jubilee government, with his no-nonsense criticism landing him in trouble with its supporters and the government itself.

Here is the message as shared by Bonface Mwangi which he says was sent by Alai from Muthaiga Police Station where he is being held:

“A text from @RobertAlai. He is being held at Muthaiga police station. Any lawyers who can help?”
