Police Officers were forced to throw several teargas canisters to protesters outside the Nairobi Regional Police headquarters where Activist Morara Kebaso is said to be detained.
According to reports, Morara Kebaso was arrested from his office in Kahawa Sukari before the officers from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) drove him to the regional headquarters for questioning.
However, kenyans raised concerns as to why the activist was being arrested and denied the right of attorney thus raising concerns on the intentions of the police amid rising cases of abductions in the country.

This forced hundreds of protesters to gather outside the Nairobi Regional Police headquarters demanding for his release immediately. However, they nearly overwhelmed police officers who threw several teargas in to the crowd in a bid to disperse them.
Earlier, reports emerged that Morara Kebaso had been transferred from the station in a bid to divert and disperse the crowd but his lawyer insists that the activist is still held at the station against his right of representation by a lawyer.
“Morara is still at the Regional Police HeadQuarters Nairobi. Ignore all rumors he has been transferred!!!. The alleged convoy leaving Nairobi Area Regional Police Headquaters is a decoy. Stay focused.”
As per now, it is still unclear why the activist was arrested just a day after touring Kericho and Bomet Counties where he exposed atalled projects and incomplete stadiums including Kericho Green where he claimed millions of money was looted.
