Boniface Mwangi is free. He was released on a personal bond. He recounted the events that occurred on the fateful day of his arrest. #SemaUkweli
Boniface Mwangi charged, released on Sh1 million personal bond. Ruto planting ammunition on @bonifacemwangi just like his mentor Moi did 4 decades ago. Pathetic. @MarthaKarua @WMutunga @thekhrc @HakiYetuOrg nation.africa/kenya/news/bon…
#Update The defence team has asked the court to order the @DCI_Kenya to retract and correct the misleading information shared on its official X account, which falsely stated that @bonifacemwangi would face terrorism charges. Labelling him a "terrorist" endangers his safety and…
#Update: The state has withdrawn the baseless terrorism charges and replaced them with a new, trumped-up accusation of possession of ammunition without a valid firearm certificate. @bonifacemwangi has denied the charge, and his lawyers have requested his release on personal…

How confused this government is. Now they’ve dropped the terrorism charges against @bonifacemwangi. They’re charging him with “possession of ammunition”. Nkt!

Boniface Mwangi to be arraigned on terrorism charges. It's Ruto who should be charged for terrorist offences : killings, disappearances, torture, and fraud #FreeBonifaceMwangi @bonifacemwangi @khrc @WMutunga @dkmaraga nation.africa/kenya/news/bon…
📢 Statement Alert TISA strongly condemns the arrest of Boniface Mwangi and the weaponization of terror charges against active citizens. Intimidation of those demanding accountability is unacceptable. We stand in full solidarity. ✊🏾 Read the full statement below…
Immediate Release This is not justice it is state repression in plain sight. A cowardly attempt to muzzle truth, intimidate dissent, and criminalize courage. As Mandela taught us: “It is the duty of the oppressed to rebel.” We demand his immediate release. #FreeBonifaceMwangi
