The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has released viral TikToker and logistics businessman Godfrey Mwasiaga, popularly known as Kakan Maiyo, after detaining him over a video that allegedly incited violence against police officers and their families.
Kan Maiyo has been released without charges. The rogue regime has lost its direction entirely.

Dramatic arrest sparks public aeaction
Earlier this week, a video went viral showing three plainclothes officers cornering Maiyo at what appeared to be a corridor inside his office building in Nairobi's Kimathi House. His company, LetaPeleka Logistics, was operating there discreetly.

The DCI later confirmed that Maiyo had been 'trailed and arrested' for allegedly inciting violence through a video clip that condemned enforced disappearances and warned police officers of divine retribution and public backlash.
What triggered the arrest?
In the now-infamous TikTok clip, Maiyo directed a scathing message at security officers accused of abducting government critics. He suggested that there would come a time when such officers might not return from missions alive, and warned that their families could soon suffer the same grief as the victims' loved ones.
He also stated that no amount of arrests or killings would silence Kenyans, a statement authorities claimed could fuel public unrest.
President Ruto's warnings loom large
Maiyo's arrest came a day after President William Ruto issued an aggressive warning during a press conference in Nairobi. The president declared that anyone attacking police would be treated as a terrorist, and even instructed officers to shoot looters in the leg if caught vandalising property during protests.
Although the DCI has now released Maiyo, the move has not cooled public debate. Supporters view the release as a small victory for free speech, while critics argue that the influencer crossed a dangerous line.
It remains unclear whether Kakan Maiyo will face formal charges or if this release marks the end of the case. Meanwhile, he has not posted any new videos since the arrest, leaving fans and critics alike speculating on whether he will continue to speak out, or lay low.
