Human rights activist Boniface Mwangi has alleged that a used bullet casing was planted in his luggage while travelling from Nairobi to Kilifi County on October 9, 2025.

Mwangi said he had packed his own carry-on bag and passed through two security checks at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA). However, moments before boarding, airport staff took his bag and issued him a luggage slip.
