The situation surrounding the sudden disappearance of vocal online commentator Maverick Aoko has taken a new turn, as a new post on her social media profile suggests that the situation is more complex than initially thought.
According to her aide, following her last arrest in August, Aoko chose to stay with family in the countryside and only travel to Nairobi for meetings and court appearances.

Two weeks ago, upon her return to Nairobi, the aide recounts that Aoko was alarmed to discover her front door had sustained forcible damage.
In a state of panic, Aoko contacted her aide for advice.
The aide urged her to document the damage and leave the premises immediately.
Aoko, however, decided against disclosing her presence in the city, fearing it would attract unwanted attention.
The aide also mentioned that Aoko’s caretaker and watchman reported seeing suspicious people loitering nearby and enquiring about her whereabouts.
The AFP then interviewed Aoko about her previous arrest and the ongoing threats against her.
Following Aoko’s interview with AFP, the situation took a different turn when she wrote about a prominent figure on her Facebook page Mr F.

This post seemed to trigger a series of events that led her to go incognito.
Aoko’s aide also notes that after this particular tweet, the family and friends began to worry more deeply for her safety, initially interpreting her silence as a strategic move to confuse potential adversaries.
As of now, they still do not know Aoko’s whereabouts and are uncertain about where to report her absence.
The family currently harbours deep mistrust in the system, especially because the same officers who had previously mistreated Aoko also warned her lawyers that they were “coming for her” again after her release in August.
