Police arrested blogger and former NTV journalist Yassin Juma on Saturday night. Juma, who has over the past week blogged about the Al Shabaab attack on the African Union Mission in Somalia’s (AMISOM) El Adde base, is currently being detained at Muthaiga police station.
Sources privy to the investigation have confirmed the arrest, adding that Juma will be arraigned in court on Monday.
Shortly after the news of his arrest hit social media, the hash tag #FreeYassinJuma shot to the top of the trend with many social media users asking for his immediate release.
When we bury the TRUTH and continue dancing around it in falsehoods, it will eventually germinate and catch up with us. #FreeYassinJuma

Just one day after the Friday attack on the El Adde base, Interior Cabinet Secretary Joseph Ole Nkaissery has warned Kenyans against sending alarming pictures and messages about the El Adde ambush.
Speaking in Mombasa, the CS said that those found sharing such images will be arrested.
The retired Major General stated that posting alarming images and content served to further the Al Shabaab’s fear-mongering agenda.

The boys who were assigned to escort me to Mungania dorm looked at my stunted height and loudly wondered how I would survive in Beast's school.  "Who is Beast?" I asked in bewilderment. "You will know." Musyoki answered curtly. It didn't take me long to know who Beast was. The following day, as the 10 o'clock tea was being served, I heard a commotion, with boys leaving their tea and running helter-skelter towards the classrooms.  I was a fresh mono, so I didn't know what was happening. I ran along the pavement, and came upon a mighty man, who appeared to be adjusting his trousers. He yanked his belt and thrust one whip towards me. I had encountered Beast himself. He was tall, imposing, burly and endowed with a thunderous voice that could re...
