DCI detectives have arrested one of the suspects wanted for insulting Kenya’s national flag at Nyayo stadium last week.
17 year old Ibrahim Haidar Yusuf was arrested after a video of him and his accomplice surfaced on social media causing anger among Kenyans who called for their arrest.
The two were at the stadium to attend the Mogadishu City Club and Police FC, with the match ending in favor of Police FC.

“17 year old Ibrahim Haidar Yusuf, one of the individuals shown in the attached photo who was wanted by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations in connection with an incident involving the desecration of the Kenya’s national flag has been arrested.
The incident took place on 20/09/ 2025 at Nyayo Stadium during a football match between Mogadishu City Club and Police FC where two individuals were captured on camera disrespecting the national flag—an act that is both unlawful and deeply offensive to the values we uphold as a nation.
Section 2B of The National Flag Emblem & Names Act, Cap 99 states that; Any person who shows disrespect, in speech, manner or writing, to or with reference to the National Anthem, or to any specified emblem, specified likeness or specified name, or any representation thereof, shall be guilty of an offence.
Efforts to arrest the remaining individual who is believed to be within the country are in place,” said DCI
