Detectives have arrested Godfrey Mwasiaga Kakan Maiyo, the man behind a viral TikTok video that sparked outrage for inciting violence against police officers and their families.
The controversial video, which circulated widely on social media, called for direct attacks on law enforcement personnel—prompting swift action from security agencies.
Detectives tracked down Maiyo to a concealed office on the third floor of Kimathi House in Nairobi, where he had been operating under the cover of a logistics company named LetaPeleka Logistics.
According to sources familiar with the investigation, the suspect had taken significant steps to conceal his identity; however, digital forensics and cyber surveillance ultimately led to his location and subsequent arrest.
