Afande Denno, a popular content creator and former police officer, has shared his side of the story after being arrested by officers from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) for attending the June 25 protest
Denno emphasized that he was not armed during the protest and had no intention of causing harm. He maintained that his involvement was driven by a desire to stand in solidarity with fellow Kenyans, particularly the youth, in demanding good governance and accountability.
“I was just a Kenyan exercising my right to protest. I posed no threat,” he said.
In his statement, Denno criticized the authorities for targeting peaceful demonstrators instead of addressing the deeper issues facing the country. He urged the government to focus on ensuring justice for all rather than using intimidation tactics.
“The real threat is injustice,” he added.
Denno’s arrest sparked online outrage, with many Gen Z and human rights activists rallying behind him, calling for his release and the protection of constitutional rights. His message resonated with a growing movement of young people demanding transparency and change.
As voices like Denno’s grow louder, the question remains — will the system listen or continue to silence those demanding change?
