Boniface Mwangi Summoned Again
Human Rights Activist and presidential hopeful Boniface Mwangi has received a summons from the Kibera Law Courts regarding a social media post he shared on Wednesday.
On Thursday, Mwangi took to social media to announce that he’s been ordered to appear in court on October 16 at 9 a.m. to respond to allegations concerning his claims about corrupt police officers.
“You are hereby summoned to appear before Court No. 1 on 16th October 2025 at 9:00 a.m. This is in relation to the social media posts made on 8th October 2025 touching on the above-mentioned matter,” the summon shared by Mwangi read.
On October 8, after Mwangi attended a hearing regarding an assault charge against a police officer, he revealed that he had been accused of calling that officer corrupt. He stood by his claim, referencing a report from the Anti-Corruption Commission to back him up.
“Today in court, Sergeant Osman Omar testified, claiming I called the police corrupt,” Mwangi posted.
“The Anti-Corruption Commission released a survey this year listing police officers as the most corrupt and unethical among all government departments and agencies. The case continues on 20th Nov.”
The ongoing case dates back to April 2, 2025, when three police officers showed up at Mwangi’s Sema Ukweli office in response to a noise complaint.
Mwangi alleges that one of the officers, who seemed to be under the influence, got aggressive as soon as he entered the office.
In a social media post after the incident, Mwangi shared his experience of the violent arrest that ensued. He described how he was taken to Kilimani, assaulted, and then found the next morning at the station by the Officer in Charge, who ordered that he be sent to the hospital.

“In the early morning hours of 3rd April, 2025, the Kilimani OCS, Albert Chebii, found me writhing in pain and ordered that l be taken to the hospital,” Mwangi narrated.
“I was driven to Nairobi Hospital under armed escort and immediately put on pain medication after arrival. l underwent a few procedures, including X-rays to check my ribs, a head scan, and an ultrasound to check for internal injuries that I might have sustained in the cells when Ouko punched my body where my kidneys are located.”
He later went to the same police station and the Independent Policing Oversight Commission (IPOA) to report the assault, but he was advised against making the incident public.
However, on April 7, Mwangi revealed that the police had gone to Kibera Law Court without letting him know and had filed charges of ‘offensive conduct and assault’ while he was away on a business trip.
The next hearing for the case is set for November 20.
