A Kajiado court has granted police permission to detain activist Bob Njagi for seven more days to allow detectives to complete investigations into allegations of incitement linked to the Gen Z memorial protests.
Senior Principal Magistrate S. Mwangi of the Kajiado Law Courts declined a police application seeking to hold Njagi for 14 days, instead authorising his detention until July 2, 2026.
The court also directed that two mobile phones recovered from the activist be surrendered to detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) for forensic examination.
