He was arrested and taken into custody, where he is currently undergoing processing ahead of his arraignment.

In a statement released via their official X account, the DCI stated: “The suspect who had uploaded the video on his TikTok account was traced to Kimathi House where he was operating a discreet office under the name LetaPeleka Logistics.
