Three journalists were on Tuesday arrested in connection with Kakamega Senator Cleophas Malala’s alleged nude photos which went viral.
The three David Ndolo, Stafford Ondego and Alex Njue were taken into custody at KICC police station.
Senator Malala told the police that the naked images were foremost that of a prominent politician in the country who asked the journalists to switch their faces.
The naked image, stated Malala, was then photoshoped next to that of a naked woman.
"I was tipped about what happened and I got police to arrest the journalists," the Senator stated as reported by The Star.
Malala further confirmed that he had proof of the conversations between the journalists and the politician carried through WhatsApp.
He even claimed that the payment of Ksh5,000 to the journalists was done via mobile transaction.
The three have been released but are expected to return to KICC police station this Thursday.
Malala revealed that the journalists’ phones and computers were seized by the police and he is set to record a statement to the police.
