🔥 Activists demand answers on missing content creator! Find out why Crazy Nairobian was arrested and what the latest twist reveals. #FreeBilly

The Crazy Nairobian, also known as Billy Simani, found himself at the center of a storm as activists from human rights groups like Amnesty International and the Law Society of Kenya demanded answers on his mysterious disappearance. Allegedly arrested during anti-finance bill protests, he was detained at Muthaiga police cell before finally being released, but the details of his arrest remained murky.

Dennis Itumbi, a prominent figure in social media circles, shed light on the reason behind the arrest of the popular influencer. The wave of protests sweeping Kenya led to Simani's detention at the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) for over 24 hours, sparking outrage and a social media campaign under #FreeBilly.

As the public outcry intensified, a unique online rally, titled “Good Morning Kenya: Where is Crazy Nairobian,” took over social media to demand Simani's release. However, a new twist emerged when police denied releasing him, adding further confusion to the already tumultuous situation.

In a surprising turn of events, it was revealed that Simani's arrest was allegedly linked to messages he sent during the Finance Bill protests, according to insights shared by Dennis Itumbi. This revelation added complexity to the already convoluted narrative surrounding Crazy Nairobian's arrest and subsequent release.
