The Milimani Law Courts have issued a warrant for the arrest of blogger Francis Gaitho after he failed to appear for a court session on December 4, 2024. According to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), Gaitho faces charges of publishing false information, which is a violation of Section 23 of the Computer Misuse and Cyber Crimes Act.
His absence from the court prompted the Milimani Law Courts to instruct the DCI to apprehend him without delay. The court’s directive underscores the seriousness of the charges against Gaitho, who has been a notable figure in online discourse.
In light of recent concerns regarding abductions and enforced disappearances, there is a growing call for increased media coverage to ensure accountability from law enforcement agencies. Observers hope that heightened media attention will play a critical role in promoting transparency and justice in such cases.
As the situation develops, the DCI is expected to act swiftly to locate and apprehend Gaitho, ensuring that legal proceedings can continue without further disruptions.
