Mike Sonko, the flamboyant former governor of Nairobi, Kenya, has reportedly lost his Instagram account after sharing a controversial video of the now famous ‘Sigor Boys‘. The video, which was deemed inappropriate and against Instagram’s community guidelines, led to Sonko’s account being disabled.
Sonko, who is known for his outspokenness and love for social media, has been using his Instagram account to share his political views and engage with his followers. However, his recent actions have cost him his online platform, leaving his followers in shock and disappointment.
The video in question featured the now famous 7 ‘Sigor Boys’ in a controversial video. The video shows the boys from Bomet county allegedly r*ping an unknown woman.
Instagram’s community guidelines prohibit content that promotes or condones violence, hatred, or discrimination. By sharing the video, Sonko violated these guidelines, leading to the suspension of his account.
The incident has sparked a debate on the role of social media in politics and the responsibility of public figures in using these platforms. While Sonko has the right to express his opinions, he must do so within the bounds of the law and the guidelines set by social media platforms.
In conclusion, Sonko’s loss of his Instagram account serves as a reminder that there are consequences to breaking community guidelines and promoting harmful content. As public figures, politicians and influencers have a responsibility to use their platforms responsibly and promote unity, peace, and respect for all.
