On a fateful night in March 2019, William Kabogo, the former governor of Kiambu County, posted a photo of himself spraying insecticides in his compound with the caption 'Must Kill dudus.'

Little did he know, his innocent tweet would spark a heated exchange with a follower who claimed the compound was stolen property.

Undeterred, Kabogo fired back, 'Your family land isn’t? Last night was with your mum and she didn’t say anything.'

The tweet has since become a prime example of a Twitter tackle of the month.
