Police Officer ‘Cop Shakur’ Arrested at His Kamiti Station

Jackson Kuria Kihara, known as ‘Cop Shakur,‘ was arrested by DCI officers at Kamiti Station.

This arrest happened recently, with reports indicating it occurred after he had briefly gone missing following threats to his safety.

Shakur had been active in protests related to the Finance Bill 2024, which led to his previous interdiction from his role as a prison warden at Kamiti Maximum Prison.

He was interdicted for appearing in public protests while in uniform and carrying placards, which led to him receiving half his salary during the investigation period.

His arrest has sparked calls for his release under hashtags like #FreeCopShakur on social platforms, with supporters demanding transparency from the authorities regarding the reasons for his arrest.

There’s also mention of him surviving an abduction attempt before this recent arrest, highlighting ongoing concerns for his safety and the broader context of police and activist relations in Kenya.
