Gen Z activists are demanding the immediate and unconditional release of Billy, widely known as Crazy Nairobian on X.

Billy has garnered a massive following for his vigilant and timely posts on events in Nairobi.

Reports suggest that armed DCI officers arrived at his residence around 6 am and took him into custody. His sudden disappearance has sparked concern among the youth.

The incident has drawn the attention of prominent government blogger Denis Itumbi, who was reportedly silenced when attempting to discuss matters related to the ongoing protests against the Finance Bill 2024.

Later, Itumbi revealed on his X account that he has information on Crazy Nairobian’s whereabouts.

“I have checked with Police why Crazy Nairobian, Billy, is under arrest. I understand he sent threatening message/s. I get hundreds of those myself, & they do not bother me. But well, it is a crime. I am unable to intervene, though I strongly disagree. I will reach out to the complainant to see if he/she can withdraw,”
