Activist Boniface Mwangi tells Kenyans to ignore Nairobi man who threatened to kill his family

Activist Boniface Mwangi has called upon Kenyans to ignore a tweet from a Kenyan man who had threatened to kill his entire family.

Babu Alamin posted on his Twitter handle on Saturday, october 8 at 1:51pm that he is going to kill his "utterly disrespectful" family in the next one hour, unless someone intervenes.

He had gone on to tag President William Ruto, Chief Justice (CJ) Martha Koome and former CJ Willy Mutunga to intervene.

I Babu will kill my utterly disrespectful family in the next one hour unless you all intervene.

Please help.

But one hour later, Mwangi replied on Alamin's tweet, urging Kenyans to ignore the message.

It turns out that the man has a medical condition that impairs his thinking capacity.

Mwangi says that he - together with Mutunga - has been trying to get Alamin the medical care that he needs as per his condition, but he still possesses his mobile phone.

Apparently, Mwangi says that the man stopped taking his medication, experiencing a relapse.

"Please ignore Alamin’s tweet. We have been trying to get Babu the medical attention he needs but he still has access to his phone. [Willy Mutunga] and l have been in touch with his family since he stopped taking his medication and are working towards getting him admitted in hospital," Mwangi tweeted.
