‘I have seen people tagging me on Edgar Obare’s post. I can’t post my solidarity on it since comments are restricted. If Edgar needs assistance, a lawyer or a safe house, my DM is open. Our country is broken but has a somewhat functional Police service and Judiciary. He should go report his complaint officially at a police station. It’s very important. Sending him positive vibes and love. He can DM me and I can advise him on what to do’ Boniface wrote.

‘While it would be considered by many safe to remain silent matters Edgar Obare, I chose not to especially given his brother's kidnapping. Edgar is not everyone's cup of tea but whether the issues affecting this country are aired first by him or not, it will not stop Kenyans from finding out the truth eventually.
Today it's him, tomorrow, any of us with different views will be next., and though we may not always agree with his approach towards personal matters, I believe torturing his brother is not the solution’ Lynn wrote.
