Activist Nuru Okanga will be detained for five more days to allow the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) complete a probe into his alleged offences of publishing false information and cyber harassment.

This after the Milimani Law Courts granted the prosecution’s request on the same on Thursday.

The activist was arrested on June 11, 2024 in Kayole before being ferried to the DCI headquarters for questioning. He was subsequently arraigned.

“He will be detained at the Muthaiga police station to allow the DCI to complete investigations into allegations of publication of false information, contrary to Section 23 of the Computer Misuse and Cybercrimes Act No.5 of 2018,” the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) said in a statement.

“The vocal activist is also under investigation for cyber harassment contrary to Section 27 of the Computer Misuse and Cybercrimes Act, among other offenses.”

According to the Investigating Officer handling the case, initial investigations have revealed suspicious accounts allegedly managed by the suspect, which posted malicious and false information about the Republic of Kenya and its leadership, advocating for public disturbance.

“Prosecution Counsel Virginia Kariuki told court that police are investigating continued dissemination of detrimental comments posted online by a number of social media platforms including TikTok and YouTube, alongside some websites linked to the suspect, which are considered a threat and may contribute to disturbances affecting peace, order, and public safety,” added the ODPP.

“Police has identified the suspect as a serial offender in relation to this investigation.
