Mombasa-based TikToker Mosquito arrested over incitement in viral video

DCI said that the video published on August 1, 2025, contained threats of violence, triggering public concern and swift action from security agencies.

In the video, Okindo was calling for the release of the leaders of an anti-police brutality group dubbed Fighting Brutality and Impunity (FBI), whose leaders - Jackson Kimani alias Cop Shakur and former Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) officer Patrick Osoi.

"I warn you  Ruto, and I want you to listen to me very clearly. I have been warning you but you are taking it as a joke and this is the last warning. Release Patrick Osoi and Cop Shakur. There are so many comrades out there, you don't know," he said.

"We are tired and we will fight for our own. We are not GenZs, we are not civilians. Our ways are different from your way. Release those two comrades if you want peace. Ruto you are going over, and we are not going to tolerate your nonsense."

Officers launched a probe as they trailed Okindo to his hideout in the Miritini area of Mombasa County.

Officers also recovered two pairs of tactical combat fatigues, a notebook with the writings, "We are going to apply guerrilla resistance tactics – Justice to all freedom heroes", three mobile phones, assorted documents linked to the Justice Direction Party, among other items.

Okindo is currently in custody, undergoing processing as he awaits arraignment.
