Comedian and activist Eric Omondi on Friday claimed that he had been arrested by a group of unidentified men, raising concern among his supporters and followers online.
In a brief message posted on his social media platforms, Mr Omondi said he had been taken by eight men who were not in uniform and that he was unaware of his destination.
“Just been arrested by a group of 8 Non Uniformed Men. I have no idea where we are headed!!!” he wrote.
The circumstances surrounding the alleged arrest were not immediately clear, and there was no official communication from police authorities by the time of publication.
The comedian, who has in recent years emerged as a vocal activist on governance and cost-of-living issues, has frequently found himself at the centre of protests and confrontations with law enforcement agencies.
His latest post quickly attracted reactions from Kenyans online, with many expressing concern over his whereabouts and calling for clarification from the relevant authorities.
The claim could not be independently verified, and it remains unclear whether Mr Omondi was being held by police officers or other security personnel.
More details were expected as the situation unfolded.
