The Law Society of Kenya has demanded the immediate release of influencer Billy, popularly known as Crazy Nairobian.

In a statement by LSK President Faith Odhiambo, the LSK also demanded that Florence Atieno 'atis pesa' be released.

"We also demand the immediate release of @_CrazyNairobian and Florence Atieno 'atis pesa'. May justice be our shield and defender," she said.

The LSK condemned the endangerment of the lives of peaceful protesters through disproportionate use of force, saying the same is not merely unethical and distasteful, it is illegal and unconstitutional.

"The inability and refusal to adhere to their mandate can no longer be condoned, and it is detestable that extra judicial killings, arbitrary conduct and use of excessive force remain the modus operandi of sections of our police," the LSK said.

"We will not watch quietly as impunity becomes a growing monster in our nation. We will hold police accountable for their actions."

Crazy Nairobian was allegedly arrested on Friday and his whereabouts remain unknown.

Earlier, Digital strategist Dennis Itumbi claimed Crazy Nairobian allegedly sent threatening messages occasioning the arrest.

"I have checked with police why Crazy Nairobian, Billy, is under arrest. I understand he sent threatening messages," Itumbi claimed in a post on X account. 

Itumbi said he was unable to intervene, "though I strongly disagree".

"I will reach out to the complainant to see if he/she can withdraw," he added.

Kenyans on X have been on an X Space airing their grievances and demanding to know Billy's whereabouts for the better part of the day.

Transport CS Kipchumba Murkomen also said that he was ready to help them if they needed his help in finding Billy.

"No problem. If you need my help, I'm ready. I have heard you and I will pass the message to the relevant authorities," he said.

He spoke during his appearance in the X Space " Good Morning Kenya: Where is Crazy Nairobian".
