DCI confirms arrest of Cop Shakur
Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) have arrested two members of the “Fighting Brutality and Impunity” (FBI) group, a movement that was recently formed by a former Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) officer and a former Kenya Prisons Service (KPS) officer to fight police brutality.
DCI, in a statement issued via social media on the night of Wednesday, July 30, 2025, said that the duo were arrested on suspicion of terrorism-related activities.

Cop Shakur’s arrest
In a separate but related arrest, Jackson Kuria Kihara, popularly known as Cop Shakur, was arrested in Kahawa West.
The detectives say Kihara was found in possession of a red beret bearing the emblem of the FBI movement—a symbol investigators believe could be linked to radical mobilisation.
He is expected to appear before the Kahawa Law Courts on Thursday, July 31, 2025.
“In a related development, Jackson Kuria Kihara, alias Cop Shakur, was also arrested in Kahawa West in connection with the same offences.
