SUSPECT IN COURT OVER INCITING VIRAL VIDEO

The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has obtained a custodial order from the Chief Magistrate’s Court at Kahawa Law Courts, Nairobi, in relation to ongoing investigations into alleged hate speech and ethnic incitement.

The respondent, Bare Sahara Ahmed, is currently detained at Kilimani Police Station for a period of 10 days to allow investigators to complete inquiries into the matter. The court has further authorised forensic analysis of relevant digital evidence, including call data records and financial transactions, to support the investigation.

This action underscores our commitment to upholding the rule of law and addressing offences that threaten national cohesion and peaceful coexistence.

We urge members of the public to exercise responsibility in their communications and refrain from engaging in conduct that may incite division or hatred.
