Aoko disclosed that she slept in the Muthaiga cells for three nights in a post on her X account. She described how the area was overrun with mosquitoes.
Aoko went on to say that despite her best efforts, she was unable to fall asleep because the cell lacked a mattress.
According to the blogger, the experience hasn't affected her at all. "For the past 3 nights, saa Kaa hizi the floor is Alaska Kwa cell. Mosquitoes performing a mandatory musical and Ballet to you. No mattress. I used to wear my jacket and try to sleep by all means.They thought they were breaking me, they hardened me. My crime? Speaking truth," she posted.
