TikToker Arrested for Allegedly Publishing False Information
Detectives have arrested a popular TikTok content creator, Roy Otieno Odhiambo, for allegedly publishing false information on his social media page.
According to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), the suspect was apprehended following a viral video he posted on October 20, 2025, in which he claimed he had been paid Ksh 3.5 million to assassinate a prominent individual.
Following a series of investigations into the alarming allegations, detectives traced and arrested Odhiambo at his hideout in Malindi. He has since been processed and is awaiting arraignment in court.
Authorities have cautioned social media users against spreading false or misleading information online, noting that such actions could have serious legal consequences.
The DCI urged members of the public to report any suspicious activities or online content that may incite fear or spread misinformation.
“Report anonymously through our toll-free number 0800 722 203 or via WhatsApp at 0709 570 000,” the DCI said in a statement.
The investigation remains ongoing.
Would you like me to make it sound more formal (for print media) or more conversational (for online news/blog style)?
