Popular Poet And Spoken Word Artist, GchoPevu Arrested By Administration For Having A Sankara Bereta Cap

Even when they have come under intense bashing and scrutiny, the police especially the Administration Police seem hell bent on becoming the most hated security force.

While their colleagues are still in the coolers facing murder charges of lawyer Willy Kimani, his client and their taxi driver, AP police offiers arrested a poet for a mere cap. Popular poet Gichopevu known as much as for his wordplay as he is for his Sankara bereta cap was accosted by the police officers who stopped him and proceeded to arrest him for the mere reason of having the cap.

Sustained pressure from friends and activists as well as KOT saw the AP release the poet but retained the bereta cap. His story was first shared Boniface Mwangi and later taken up by #KOT.
