List of Kenyan celebrities who have spent time behind bars

A couple of celebrities have found themselves in the cell after engaging in nuisance & unruly behaviour. For some like Eric Omondi, the cell is not something new.

Below is a list of Kenyan celebs who have ended up behind bars.

Eric Omondi

The jester had a rough time after he tried to push the government to pass motion on play 75% Kenyan content.

His sentiments took him to Central police station. Similarly, Eric Omondi once took netizen’s CV’s to The State House; but his trip was cut short after police ganged up on him & took him to the police station.

DJ Joe Mfalme

The latest celebrity to find himself behind bars was DJ Joe Mfalme. A DCI officer by the name Kitosi allegedly quarrelled with Joseph Mwenda aka DJ Joe Mfalme after ramming his vehicle. The accident took place at Kikuyu Police Station in Kiambu County.

This led to an altercation, with the entertainer’s team assaulting Kitosi before the three police officers took over the case.

When the three officers arrived at the scene, they arrested Kitosi and took him to Kikuyu Police Station.

The entertainer and his crew also joined the officers at the station but were later allowed to leave without recording a statement. Mfalme was later released after the court found him not guilty.

Ringtone reveals what he did for a living before becoming a millionaire.

The verdict saw Jowie get a life sentence while Jackie Maribe went free.
