Dennis Itumbi blasts Police for arresting filmmakers over BBC Documentary
State House Head of Presidential Special Projects Dennis Itumbi has faulted the police for arresting four BBC Documentary filmmakers in Nairobi.
The quartet, Nicholas Wambugu, Brian Adagala, MarkDenver Karubiu, and Chris Wamae, were apprehended late Friday evening, May 2, from their Karen village office.
They were taken to the Pangani Police Station for interrogation ahead of further action.
The four would later be released on a free bond on Saturday morning, May 3, but had their equipment confiscated by the police.

Itumbi said having the four arrested was unnecessary.
According to Itumbi, instead of harassing the producers of the documentary, the government should instead produce a counterpiece to tell its story.
“There is an alternative story on the violence and political planning that unleashed the storming of the bunge and invading the armoury at the Mausoleum. Make an alternative documentary; tell the other story. BBC told their story. Let them be. Free the journalists,” he said.
Last month, Itumbi called out the state over the drama involving the Butere Girls High School drama club.
