Activist Bob Njagi will remain in police custody for seven days after a court granted investigators additional time to complete investigations into allegations of planning to overthrow the government.

In an update on Friday, June 26, lawyer Levi Munyeri said Njagi was arrested at Kitengela Matatu Stage, where he had been addressing a group of young people.

According to court documents, Njagi will be held at Isinya Police Station.

The activists and several others were arrested during a two-day police crackdown targeting demonstrators marking the anniversary of the 2024/2025 Gen Z protests.

In the wake of the protests, several leaders have been called out for their participation, including Siaya Governor James Orengo.

In a statement on Friday, June 26, Alego Usonga MP Sam Atandi called out Orengo over his participation in the protests, accusing the county boss of neglecting pressing challenges facing residents back home.

Atandi claimed that while Orengo was taking part in demonstrations in the capital, residents of Siaya continued with their normal routines despite facing unresolved issues, including water shortages.

“I would like to call out the Governor of Siaya for coming all the way to Nairobi to lead demonstrations while leaving the people of Siaya without water,” he said.
