On September 1, 2019, a Kenyan court banned NTV journalists Edmond Nyabola, Mark Masai, and Emmanuel Juma from airing an investigative piece titled 'Sins Of Saviours' that exposed the rot at the Child Welfare Society of Kenya.

Published on September 15, 2019, the documentary was set to shed light on the alleged misuse, abuse, and exploitation of children for profit by the organization.

However, the court intervened, and the journalists were ordered to appear in court on October 1, 2019. Edmond Nyabola took to social media, sharing the court document and captioning it, 'I'll be in Industrial Area GK Prison in October should you need me. #sinsofsaviours.'

The post was later deleted, but the case remains ongoing. If found guilty of contempt of court, the journalists may face detention at Industrial Area GK Prison in Nairobi.
