News reaching the cnyakundi.com desk this afternoon is that Kenyan activist and politician Boniface Mwangi has been picked up by DCI Detectives from his house over reasons yet to be revealed.
The former Starehe parliamentary aspirant broke the news of his arrest himself through a tweet sent just moments after he was whisked away by the detectives.
I have been arrested by @DCI_Kenya from my house. We are headed to Central Police Station. I haven't been told the reason for my arrest.
