The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has clarified that recent social media claims about two individuals being arrested while sleeping on President William Ruto’s bed at Mombasa State House are entirely false. A widely circulated post alleged that suspects Pius Kang’ethe Maina and Julius Muthomi broke into the residence to “test the comfort” of the presidential bed before being discovered by security personnel after loud snoring was reported.

In an official statement, the DCI labeled the viral post as “FAKE,” urging the public to disregard such misleading information. The fabricated narrative had sparked widespread reactions on social media, further amplified by accompanying images of alleged suspects.
The Truth Behind the Viral Post
The DCI confirmed that the images of individuals purportedly arrested are unrelated to the claims. The agency has urged netizens to verify information before sharing, as such fake news undermines trust and spreads unnecessary panic.
Misinformation Alert
Social media users are reminded to rely on verified sources for credible information. The DCI continues to warn against sharing doctored or unverified content, promising stern action against those responsible for spreading falsehoods.
