Jackson Kuria Kihara, alias Cop Shakur, a former Kenya Prisons Service officer, was reportedly arrested by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) at Kahawa Law Courts on Wednesday, July 30. His apprehension occurred as he was supporting Patrick Osoi, a former KDF soldier and US Army veteran, who was arrested a day prior on suspicion of preparing to commit a felony.

• Cop Shakur gained attention during the 2024 anti-finance bill protests for siding with protestors, leading to his salary being halved and alleged dismissal from the Kenya Prisons Service (KPS).
• Kuria filmed his confrontation with officers prior to his detention, asserting they provided no grounds for arrest.
• Several activists took to social media to confirm his detention and demand his release from DCI headquarters along Kiambu Road.
• Osoi had recently announced the formation of the Fighting Brutality and Impunity (FBI) movement to defend victims of extrajudicial killings.
