According to the Charge sheet, Jackson Kuria Kihara alias Cop Shakur: "On the 11th day of January 2025 at about 1718 Hrs., at an unknown place within the Republic of Kenya, jointly with others not before the court, knowingly and unlawfully published false information, while using the X Corp Account dubbed: shakur the cop @CopShakur, posted false information to wit... under which Law? This CS is an Upcoming Dictator. He is the one Responsible for the abductions together with Ruto... knowing it to be false and well calculated to cause panic among the Citizens of Kenya."
Shakur spent the weekend in police custody as police sought to hold him for further investigations.
He was arrested on January 15, at the Kamiti Maximum Prison staff residence and booked at the Muthaiga police station before being arraigned in court under a miscellaneous application.
The DCI told the court that at the time of his arrest, his phone was seized and they would require sufficient time to subject it to forensic examination.
"Due to the bulky nature of the expected data and digital evidence involved that's yet to be examined and comprehensively analysed, there is a need for an extension of time to facilitate the ongoing investigations," read the DCI affidavit in part.
They also stated that Shakur, being a trained disciplined services officer, has the capacity to interfere with the probe as he is trained in the use of firearms.
The DCI had told Chief Magistrate Lucas Onyina that they required 21 more days to enable them to complete investigations.
But the court gave them three days to conclude their probe.
At the time they were investigating him over cybercrime and mutiny offences.
He was on Monday released on a cash bail of Sh50,000 after denying charges before Milimani Magistrate Gilbert Shikwe.
