Kenyan blogger Robert Alai has on Tuesday been arrested by detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) for investigation.
The arrest of Robert Alai follows a picture he posted on Monday of police officers who died in Wajir after they run over an Improvise Explosive Device (IED).
The National Police Commission responded to the pictures condemning the sharing of the pictures of the dead police officers.
They continued by saying sharing of the pictures can be constructed as glorifying acts of terrorism as well as cause despondency to the armed forces, families of the victims and the unity of the country.
