DP’s Blogger Who Was Arrested Claim Ruto Left Him Him To Rot In Jail
Amedo as he’s popularly known in the Twitter space, rose to become one of the most lethal assets for the tanga tanga online brigade allied to DP Ruto.
His short stint with the Harambee Annex troop would get cut short after he was arrested. This happened when the DCI was trailing the fake assassination letter that had Itumbi arrested. Amedo was in the tanga tanga WhatsApp group whose members were under probe.
His busy timeline went silent when he tweeted that he had been arrested.
Just been arrested. Being held at Pangani Police Station.
Reason
Tangatanga Whatsapp Chronicles !

And that was the last he was heard of online,6th July. While his friends and followers kept asking for his whereabouts, a loud silence reigned from Ruto and his lieutenants. He was simply forgotten until a few days ago when Dennis Itumbi broke the silence and asked about him.
.@AmedoShair tweeted on 6th July, 2019.
In his tweet he said he was under arrest at Pangani Police Station.
Reason: His tweets on Tanga Tanga WhatsApp group.
But that is not my issue for now.
My concern is that I have just learnt he has never tweeted again. pic.twitter.com/xJEnFbGveT

Well, the blogger has now spoken out saying he’s been well and opted to take a low profile and quit online activism for Ruto after they threw him under the bus.
I am safe and sound. My family helped me get out of trouble. I have halted this keyboard crap ! I have withdrawn to private life. When I got captured WSR and his lieutenants didn't make a big deal about me. Every one of them trooped to Muthaiga where @OleItumbi was held .

Amedo seemingly picked a lesson and moved on with them. Cases of politicians using bloggers to do their dirty work and abandoning them when they get in trouble is not anything new and these are those cases one need to study for decision making.
