Kenyan Tiktoker Brian Chira was arrested on Thursday night with claims that he had defamed fellow ticktoker Azziad Nasenya.
Chira is said to have made incredibly offensive remarks against Azziad in a video that was posted on social media and proceeded to post her phone number on social media.
Chira was picked by detectives and forced to spend the night in police custody and according to Nasenya’s lawyer, her client opted to take legal action against the TikToker for defaming her and harming her brand.
“Sometime last week Chira went live on TikTok at night and the Topic was Azziad he uttered some words which I cannot repeat here but those words are defamatory and he did not stop there he went ahead and gave ahead and gave out her number.
“My client has for the past week been buzzed with a lot of calls and messages some of which are insults and my client was not happy. Since we have the computer misuse and cybercrime act she choose to take legal action,” the lawyer said.
Chira has the option to request police bail at this stage before going to court to enter a plea.
