“Where is Aoko?” is trending in Kenya as concerns grow over the sudden silence of Maverick Aoko, a known social media influencer and outspoken critic of the government.
After posting about the life and family of Farouk Kibet, President William Ruto’s associate and personal assistant, Maverick Aoko, went missing.
Netizens claim Aoko could have been abducted, as it is a new norm in the country where Subaru boys take people to mysterious places.
Supporters are worried, noting that she hasn’t posted in two days, sparking questions about her whereabouts.
Many are critiquing the current administration, suggesting it’s effective at silencing critics but falls short of delivering promises to Kenyans.
Calls are mounting for answers, with people urging those who know her personally to check in with her and emphasising that the government is hostile to outspoken voices like Aoko’s.
Below is the last tweet about Farouk Kibet before her disappearance from the social and public domain.
