University Of Nairobi Graduate In Jail For Sharing Photos Of The Slain KDF Officers (photo)

A graduate of UON is being held by the police after he was apprehended in connection with Sharing photos of slain KDF officers on a whatsapp group.

This comes just a day after the government issued a directive prohibiting the sharing of such photos online or via whatever means conceivable.
“When those slain soldiers were out there dying for their country, they weren’t taking photos, I doubt they would want their photos online after they died protecting you..” Read a status on social media.

The sharing of these photos has been criticized as some users found about the death of their relatives online.
It is for this reason that Eddy Ellah will find himself answering to charges of ‘Improper use of Licenced Telecommunication Systems Contrary to Sections 29 (a) Of the Kenya Information and Communication Act Cap 411a Laws Of Kenya.”

His charge sheet at the police desk read:

On the 16th of January 2016 at unknown place in Kenya, using a whatsapp group namely “A young peoples union” posted pictures of allegedly dead Kenya Defence Force who are said to have been attacked and killed in Somalia, knowing that it was grossly offensive and with intent to cause needless anxiety to the families and the Kenyan Citizen in general..”

This should also serve as a warning to those of same mannerisms, you will be charged if you are found breaching the said laws.

Let the police do their job.

Eddy Ellah.
