Receiving information from @VOCALAfrica_ Mombasa office @SkettyWalid that Mwabili Mwagodi is presently being held at Port Police Station in Mombasa after being taken there from Lunga Lunga where he was arrested yesterday.
Mwabili was on his way to Tanzania to clear with his former employer and get his dues when he was intercepted at the border and detained. He is currently awaiting transportation to Nairobi. The police have not given the reason for his arrest only citing “orders from above”!
Police in Tanzania have imposed a curfew following a tense polling day marked by protests and unrest in several parts of the country. Internet services have also been shut down, while several people have been injured during protests.
Mwabili Mwagodi is slowly recovering, but the scars run deep. The mental and physical torture he endured is unimaginable.
“For me it was the mental torture. I became suicidal.”
This is what state repression looks like. This is why we fight.
I’m scared for this young man 😦 the Tanzanian government has no regard for life. I am very sure ours wouldn’t have been spared if it wasn’t for all your voices. Please let’s all raise our voices for Mwabili Magodi. He has been missing since Wednesday from Dar es Salaam where he’s been working. He’s been vocal against Ruto’s church donations. #FreeMwabiliMwagodi
At pinnacle of GenZs uprising, we admired and cheered as he traversed geographical terrain ), the missive and the digital terrain to remind our church leadership that a pulpit belonged to God, not the megalomaniac political moneybags. Mwabili a national hero, #FreeMwabiliMwagodi
Comrades,
A comrade is NEVER wrong.
They're recalibrating truth to fit the struggle.
He/She doesn't make errors, only prophetic experiments.
He/She may be wrong in theory, but never in spirit.
Free Mwambili Mwagodi.
Viva!

STATEMENT: Alarm Over Abduction of Kenyan Activist Mwabili Mwagodi
Amnesty International Kenya is deeply concerned by the reported abduction and disappearance of Kenyan human rights defender Mwabili Mwagodi, last seen in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, on Wednesday, 23 July 2025.
This disturbing incident echoes a growing pattern of cross-border repression targeting East African activists, including the recent abductions of Boniface Mwangi and Agather Atuhaire, now before the East African Court of Justice.
We demand both Kenya and Tanzania
🔹 Reveal his whereabouts
🔹 Guarantee his safety
🔹 End cross-border repression

The OCS referred the family of Mwabili to Kilimani DCI but now DCI Kilimani have refused to take up the https://t.co/23zWtljr4v what is the family supposed to do to ensure the safety and freedom of their kin?!! 💔 #FreeMwabili#RutoMustGo#SuluhuHanaSuluhu.
We know that Mwabili Mwagodi is being held by @SuluhuSamia’s government with the blessings of Kenya’s government.
East Africa is fast becoming a region of tyranny and oppression.
Let it be clear that we hold both Tanzania’s and Kenya’s governments responsible for Mwabili’s abduction.

Mwabili fearlessly called out the rot in churches, kicking out shameless politicians who had turned pulpits into campaign stages. Through Occupy Churches, he boldly warned churches against hosting corrupt leaders or accepting their dirty money.
Free Mwabili.

A Kenyan has been abducted in Tanzania. Again.
Family has confirmed that Mwabili Mwagodi, who is a Kenyan activist and was vocal against church donations, was abducted in Tanzania on Wednesday.
It seems @SuluhuSamia and her government are working round the clock to target Kenyan activists.

Don’t hold on to everything. If you hold on to that offense, it’s not only going to weigh you down, it’s going to keep you from reaching forward.
