A third individual associated with the emerging “Fighting Brutality and Impunity” (FBI) movement has been arrested, marking the latest development in an ongoing investigation into the group’s alleged criminal activities.
In a statement issued Friday, August 1, the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) confirmed the arrest of Hiram Kimathi in Kinoru village, Meru County. His apprehension followed an intelligence-led operation by detectives targeting suspected members of the movement.
Kimathi is currently in custody, undergoing processing, and is expected to be arraigned in court in due course. Notably, Kimathi is a police officer who went viral earlier in July after taking to social media to openly decline an official transfer to Todonyang, Turkana County.
The police constable went public on social media, claiming he had been transferred from Kyumbi Police Station, located near Machakos Junction, to the remote Todonyang Police Station along the Kenya-Ethiopia border.

In a video that stirred controversy, he alleged that the government was using his transfer as a warning to other officers who failed to align with the current administration.
He also shared a transfer letter indicating that he had been directed to report to the Officer Commanding Station (OCS) at Todonyang for further instructions upon arrival.
His arrest comes just a day after two other individuals linked to the movement were taken into custody in Nairobi. On Thursday, July 31, Patrick Nyambaka Osoi—a founding member of the FBI movement—was arrested during a coordinated operation along Lang’ata Road.
He was arraigned at the Kahawa Law Courts, where he faced multiple charges, including violations under the Prevention of Terrorism Act (2012) and unlawful possession of a firearm.
In a separate operation, detectives also arrested Jackson Kuria Kihara, also known by the alias “Cop Shakur,” in Kahawa West. At the time of his arrest, Kihara was reportedly wearing a red beret bearing the ‘FBI’ insignia, which authorities believe is linked to the movement’s activities.
He, too, was scheduled for arraignment at the Kahawa Law Courts on July 31. The third arrest follows a recent announcement by Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen, who stated that retired police officers and military personnel will now face increased government surveillance.
“All police and military officers who are out of service have a greater responsibility than a civilian,” Murkomen stated.
"We will put them under very strict surveillance because those are persons who the government of Kenya has highly trained on the use of arms, and once they start threatening the public and threatening the government, we consider that subversive activities.”
