A day after he claimed he was beaten by unknown people, Tiktoker Brian Chira was arrested on Thursday, July 28 on charges of defaming Azziad Nasenya.
He was arrested in Nakuru and driven to Nairobi where he was detained at the Wilson Airport Police Station.
In a short clip from SPM Buzz, the Tiktoker alights from a vehicle and walks into the station where he chats with officers.
Shortly, he is heard telling someone on a phone call that “I insulted her. So she reported. Talk to the officers and then they can explain. All I was requesting is for you to help”,.
Mungai Eve interviewed Gertrude, the Lawyer representing Azziad, who announced that her team is not happy.
“Sometime last week Chira went live on tiktok, and the topic was Azziad. He uttered some words, very defamatory. He also went ahead and gave her a number. My client was being buzzed with a lot of calls and messages some of which are insults because of that. My client was not happy” she said about the legal matter.
The lawyer cited the Computer Misuse and Cyber Crime Act.
Here are Kenyans reacting to his arrest.
