A court in Nairobi has ordered the renowned Twitter blogger Edgar Obare to cease publishing any defamatory statements against the founder and owner of Westlock College, Christina Lewis, and two others.
Honorable Becky Cheloti of the Commercial Court further ordered the head of cybercrime at the Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI) to ensure that no further defamatory statements are made on Mr. Obare’s Twitter handle.
In the matter, Lewis, through city lawyer Mwenda Njagi, moved to the court seeking orders to prevent Obare from publishing defamatory statements against his clients, Mrs. Christina and two others.
“In the interim, pending the hearing and determination of this application, a temporary injunction is issued against the defendant from further publication and extraction of defamatory online posts to X under his Twitter name @edgarobare, declaring that Christina Lewis is a convict investor fraudster,” read the order.
According to Mrs. Christina, Obare wrote on Twitter on Friday, the 26th of February, 2024, alleging that Christina Lewis is a US convict.
The matter will now be heard on the 19th of February 2024.
