Detectives have arraigned Harrison Nyende Mumia before the Milimani Law Courts on charges of publishing false information contrary to section 22(1) of the Computer Misuse and Cybercrimes Act No 5 of 2018.

On December 30, 2025, the suspect, who is the president of the Atheist Society of Kenya, while using his pseudo Facebook Account under the name: Robinson Kipruto Ngetich, knowingly published false information against state leadership.

During his arrest, law enforcement officers confiscated several items from his residence along Kangundo Road, including two company stamps, belonging to Dovty Digital Technologies and the Atheists in Kenya Society, an HP EliteBook X360 laptop, a Redmi smartphone, among other items.

Appearing before the Milimani Law Courts, he faced four counts of false publication. Mumia pleaded not guilty to the charges and was granted a bond of Sh1 million, with the requirement of one contact person, or an alternative cash bail of Sh500,000, with two contact persons. Additionally, he was ordered to deposit his passport with the court.

The case is scheduled for mention on January 19, 2026.

About

The establishment, development and growth of Criminal Investigations Department can be traced to the evolvement of the Kenya Police to which it remains one of the key formations. The first police officers were recruited in 1887 by the Imperial British East Africa Company, I.B.E.A. to provide security for stores in Mombasa. It was from these humble beginnings that the Kenya Police was born.
