Garissa town
Two suspects accused of spreading hate speech on social media in Garissa county have been arrested.
NorthEastern regional coordinator, Mohamud Saleh said the two posted inflammatory comments that were likely to trigger violence between clans in the county.
“The two will be taken to court and will act as an example to others who have the similar intentions. The consequences of such acts are dire,” Saleh said.
As revealed by the police the accused persons had warned that the county will witness a civil strife in the event that the Tuesday elections are rigged in favour of one clan.
In the post, they further released names of their hitmen who will execute those perceived to be involved in the ‘rigging’ plan.
“We are on high alert. Elections must be conducted in a peaceful environment. Where necessary, we will deploy more security officers,” Said the regional coordinator.
Kenyans have been warned against spreading hate speech on social media especially at time with only three days to the election.
