His alleged arrest comes a few days after he shared that he had been summoned to appear at the DCI headquarters without fail.

In his post, Obare claimed that the DCI summon was for him to answer some questions about YouTuber and influencer Natalie Tewa.

“So yesterday I was informed I am being summoned to the DCI, I was kindly requested by an officer to appear at the DCI HQ without fail in the next few days. I am told the purpose of this summon is to answer questions about Natalie Tewa. Must be nice being Natalie Tewa,” wrote Obare.

This comes a few weeks after the blogger ran an exposé alleging that the YouTuber had traveled together with Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho to Dubai when the Governor and Suna East MP Junet Mohammed went to visit ODM leader Raila Odinga in Dubai after a minor surgery.
