A Nairobi court has issued a warrant of arrest against TikToker Joseph Gitonga Kihanya, alias Gitonga Archives, after he failed to appear for a hearing in a Sh500,000 extortion case.

City Court Magistrate Grace Ouko issued the warrant after the prosecution informed the court that Kihanya and his lawyers Joshua Nyamori and Black Omanga were absent when the matter came up for hearing.

“The accused is absent and his advocates too. We therefore seek a warrant of arrest against him,” the State prosecutor told the court.
