Nakuru social media influencer Brian Chira has had a tough week. If his social media videos are anything to go by, he's been facing one challenge after another.

According to a post he made on TikTok three days ago, his house was broken into and he lost everything to burglars.

The content creator, whose face appears to be scarred, adds that he was coming out of hospital when he made the video.

With the Chira clan still sympathising with him over the incident, things took an ugly turn for him after he went on a TikTok live and allegedly uttered defamatory words against fellow content creator Azziad Nasenya.

This led to his arrest. He is currently being held by police in Nairobi after Azziad's team accused him of defamation.

"I insulted her online, she reported. Talk to the officer and then they can explain," Chira says on the phone in a video posted on social media.

In another video, Aziad's lawyer, who goes by the name Gertrude, says Chira spoke defamatory words that caused her client distress.

"Sometime last week, Chira went live on TikTok at night and it seemed the topic was Azziad. He said some words that I cannot repeat on this forum, but those words are defamatory, and he did not stop there. He went on and gave out her contact details," she said.

She went on to say that as a result of Chira's actions, her client has been receiving calls and messages from strangers, some of which are abusive.

"My client has been receiving a lot of calls and messages since last week, some of which are actually insults," she added.

As a result, her client decided to file a complaint against Chira and pursue the matter through legal channels under the Computer Misuse and Cyber Security Act.

Chira, who is currently a student at Kabarak University, shot to fame after appearing on Ntv's prime-time news while giving an account of an accident that took place in Ngata.
