Also confirming Boniface Mwangi’s arrest was fellow activist Hussein Khalid who said that the lawyers are following up on the matter.
“I can confirm that Boniface Mwangi has been arrested at his home Courage Base by officers from the DCI. Together with his lawyers, we are following up to understand why,” he said
Even though the reason for his arrest remains unknown, it could be linked with the recent demonstrations within Nairobi and other counties where several arrests were made and charged before the court.
