Abeta has resorted to crowdfunding on Twitter, the platform where he catfished users for years, in hopes of making bail.
A man who falsely and sensationally claimed that Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua was involved in a plot to harm a legislator is now seeking financial support from the public for his legal defence.
Silvance Adongo Abeta made the unsubstantiated claim on September 3 this year on X, formerly known as Twitter, using the handle @WanjikuHSC.
