Nuru Okanga to be arraigned.

Activist Nuru Okanga will today know whether he will be charged with alleged offences of publishing false information and cyber harassment.

The activist who was arrested on June 11, 2024, in Kayole, was detained last week after police sought more days to complete their investigations.

Police said they were investigating Okanga for cyber harassment contrary to Section 27 of the Computer Misuse and Cybercrimes Act, among other offences.

According to the Investigating Officer, initial investigations revealed suspicious accounts allegedly managed by the suspect, which posted malicious and false information about the Republic of Kenya and its leadership, advocating for public disturbance.
