Kenyans called for his immediate release with the hashtag #FreeBonifaceMwangi trending.

Carlmaury: Tag @WilliamsRuto, as he promised and has consistently maintained that such actions will not occur during his administration. @DCI_Kenya and @NPSOfficial_KE are you aware of this presidential commitment? It seems that someone is attempting to undermine the president. Please ensure that you comply with the law when carrying out any arrests.
“These abductions and murders must stop @HakiKNCHR @thekhrc @achpr_cadhp a@AUC_PAPS @AUC_MoussaFaki @UNHumanRights unless concerted action is taken they will continue to abduct and murder #DrainTheSwamp #RutoMustGo,” NARC Kenya party leader Matha Karua slammed on X.
Earlier this week, Mwangi had urged Kenyans to come out in large numbers and 'occupy' the city on Sunday, coinciding with the Standard Chartered Marathon in Nairobi Marathon.
"You are a crucial part of the race; your cheering will motivate and energise the athletes and help reform our country in the process," Mwangi stated on his social media platforms.
He noted that those protesting should carry flags, placards and wearing clothes with anti-Ruto messages printed on them to honour victims of police brutality in recent protests that led the death of over 60 people.
