Jeff Koinange, a prominent journalist with KTN and cousin of President Uhuru, has been arrested by plainclothes police officers outside his house.
A court had issued a warrant of arrest for Koinange and another individual. During an interview with Miguna Miguna on his show, Koinange stated that he would not obey the court orders since they had not been directly served to him.
Koinange attempted to have the warrant of arrest quashed but was unsuccessful.
Reactions to the arrest were shared on social media. A tweet by @KinyanBoy explained the reason behind the arrests of @KoinangeJeff and @TonyGachoka, using the hashtag #ReleaseJEFF.
