Political activist Boniface Mwangi has sparked concern after sharing a cryptic post and deactivating his social media accounts. Mwangi, known for his vocal anti-government stance, posted a message that left his followers worried about his well-being.
Mwangi tweeted, “There is nothing selfish about suicide. Someone gets to a stage in life, and they decide this is it for them. They are ready for the next world. The pain, troubles, and expectations of others in this world are too much. They exit the stage, celebrate their life. End of story.”
Shortly after this tweet, Mwangi deactivated his accounts on X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram. This move prompted a flurry of concern from his followers and fellow activists.
Activist Hanifa Adan took to X to express her worry. “Boniface Mwangi has deactivated his accounts and we can not get hold of him too, especially after the post he made. I spoke to him juzi, asked if he was okay, and he mentioned how the attacks are always getting to him. My heart is so broken for him.”
Farsafi added, “Why are some of y’all genuinely like this? Why? This man has always stood up for people, bro. Why do you guys want to see him suffer so badly? Maan, I feel so bad about it.”
Carol Radull, another notable figure, urged people to pray for Mwangi.
She posted, “Please pray for Boniface Mwangi. He posted this on Facebook then disabled his IG and X accounts.”
Boniface Mwangi was arrested on July 25 for planning demonstrations in Nairobi, demanding justice for protesters shot during the June 25 Occupy Parliament march.
This incident, followed by a wave of online insults accusing him of exploiting the protests, appears to have taken a toll on him.
