Kenyans on Twitter woke up without one of the top online personalities that never misses in any controversial online debates.
It has emerged that blogger Cyprian Nyakundi, who never filters his words, has been silenced on Twitter.
Keen netizens realised Nyakundi's account had been flagged on Tuesday morning just a few hours after he sent out photos purporting to be exposing a media personality's private affairs.

Nyakundi, who has build a massive following on Twitter with his own way battling it out with corporates and the government, recently lost at least 600,000 followers in a purge on bots and fake accounts.
Kenyans.co.ke could not immediately reach the blogger for a comment on the suspension of his account.
Twitter usually has three common reasons why they may suspend a user from the platform.
Most of the account suspensions are made because of spammy content or just being plainly fake.
Twitter explains that spammy accounts introduce security risks for the entity and all users. It is therefore guided that uploading such content is against Twitter Rules.
In the event of a rare and unfortunate scenario when a real person’s account gets suspended by mistake, Twitter can move in to make sure the account is unsuspended.
In other cases, suspensions can result from the individual user security at risk.
"If we suspect an account has been hacked or compromised, we may suspend it until it can be secured and restored to the account owner in order to reduce potentially malicious activity caused by the compromise," explains the Twitter team.
More to the suspension of users is the use of abusive tweets or behavior.
Twitter techs may suspend an account if it has been reported to be as violating the rules surrounding abuse.
Twitter warns that "when an account engages in abusive behavior, like sending threats to others or impersonating other accounts, we may suspend it temporarily or, in some cases, permanently."
