Four individuals have been apprehended for filming what authorities deem a malicious TikTok prank in front of the Kilifi Police Station.
The arrested individuals are Shabir Ali Suleiman (27), Samson Biwott Omungata (17), Caleb Gunga Kahindi (18), and Omar Juma Omar (19).
As per a police statement, one of the suspects approached a cleaner and sought permission to film a video within the police premises, but the request was denied.
Nevertheless, the group proceeded to shoot a staged prank video with three others, despite the refusal.
“The scenario involved one individual feigning intoxication and being robbed by two others on a motorcycle while being recorded by another,” stated the police report.
Subsequently, the suspects allegedly uploaded the video on TikTok under the account @shabir_shirazy003 with captions implying theft in front of the police station.
Authorities argue that the video tarnished the station’s reputation and assert that they have acquired CCTV footage showing the suspects filming the prank video.
