Detectives have arrested a TikTok content creator accused of
spreading false information about an alleged assassination plot, the
Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has said.
In a statement issued on Friday
evening, the DCI identified the suspect as Roy Otieno Odhiambo,
who allegedly published a video on his TikTok page on October
20, 2025, claiming he had been paid Ksh.3.5 million to assassinate a prominent
individual.
According to the DCI, the video
quickly went viral, prompting investigations to determine the authenticity of
the claims. Detectives later tracked down and arrested Odhiambo at his hideout
in Malindi.
“The suspect has since been
processed and is awaiting arraignment,” the DCI said.
