Influential businessman and political strategist Jimi Wanjigi has been arrested and taken to Kamukunji Police Station, where he will spend the night in custody. The arrest, which occurred earlier today, has sparked widespread attention due to the serious allegations he now faces.

Wanjigi was apprehended on charges of possessing an unlicensed firearm, among other accusations.

In addition to the firearm charges, Wanjigi is also accused of financially supporting the recent Gen Z protests, which have swept across the country. These protests, led by young Kenyans, have highlighted various social and economic grievances. The authorities believe that Wanjigi’s involvement in funding these demonstrations could be part of a broader strategy to destabilize the current government.

Wanjigi was taken to Kamukunji Police Station, where he is expected to spend the night before being arraigned in court tomorrow.

Supporters of Wanjigi have begun to gather outside the police station, demanding his release and accusing the government of targeting him for political reasons. The arrest has intensified an already volatile political climate, with many questioning the timing and motivations behind the move.
