Nation Media Group journalist Walter Menya was arrested by police on Sunday on allegations that he was soliciting Kes 50,000 bribe from a man named Kiprotich Koros in order to write damaging story on newspaper.
Walter was yesterday June 20th released unconditionally after spending two days in police custody as detectives failed to provide evidence about the progress of their investigations.

Walter’s arrest sparked public outcry after it turned out that he had been framed; this was after Jubilee bloggers shared photos of the journalist on social media while he was being held at Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI) headquarters where photography is prohibited.
Jubilee blogger Pauline Njoroge took to Facebook to share a photo of Walter handcuffed while in a car, that was at 12:38pm on Sunday.
Exactly one hour later, Pauline once again shared a photo of Walter on Facebook, this time round she said the Nation journalist was being held at CID headquarters.
After he was released, Walter narrated how the arrest was strange. He said that officers who arrested him kept taking pictures of him and appeared to be sending them.
Below are photos of the beautiful Jubilee blogger who shared photos of Walter on social media:
