Eric who was leaving the country for work purposes was blocked following a stop order that had been issued against him. He was then detained but it is not clear why the action was taken.
“I have been arrested at JKIA Just before I boarded a flight to Dar Es Salaam. As a Brand Ambassador to Skyward we were Launching the INAUGURAL Dar Es Salaam flight. Upon handing over my Passport The Immigration officers informed me that there is a Stop Order and that I cannot travel and I have to be detained,” he said.
The move has however been criticized by Eric Omondi’s fans. Here are some of their reactions.
Rachel Annie: Kila mwana youth aweke ID yake vizuri ikifika time ya kura kwa nguvu za Mwenyezi Mungu all youths we vote Ruto out very early in the morning.
Hijaby Girl: Man on his normal day doing his work and then they get him arrested Why? Which crime has Eric committed? Yet wezi wa mabillions wako free.
Meshack Yegon: They should give you an explicit reason why they think you are a flight risk. Hire me as your lawyer.
Lavidoh: Streets are calling button.
Eric has been among the key opposers of the current regime, organizing several solo protests.
