Controversial blogger Edgar Obare has sensationally claimed his life is in danger.

This claim comes a few days after he also suggested his brother had been โ€˜kidnappedโ€™ and then released by unknown people.

But he fell short of substantiating these claims and confirmed he does not intend to file a report with the police because he โ€˜doesnโ€™t expect much helpโ€™.

While narrating his experiences on an Instagram page namely BNN, Obare, known for his chilling exposes touching politicians and celebrities opened up on the woes he and his family are reportedly facing.

โ€œSaturday night, I was informed they kidnapped my brotherโ€, he says.

โ€œThey tortured him, trying to get information about my whereabouts; thatโ€™s one of the scariest things. I am so sad he had to go through that, and that some people in this country would go so low and go after my family. I hate this country, how they get away with everything.โ€

This is the second time Obareโ€™s said brother, whose identity heโ€™s not revealed, is reportedly facing harassment. He is also said to have recently been detained at a local airport where heโ€™d gone to fetch a parcel.

โ€œThe package was at customs, and they wanted me to pay some duties. He gets there, and he is told to wait. They then tell him they canโ€™t release the package because there is a payment that had to be made, and so my brother had to come back on a different day,โ€ the blogger claims.

โ€œWhen my brother went (returned) to pick up the package, he finds (Directorate of Criminal Investigations) DCI agents waiting for him. He is taken to a room, told to stay there, and surrender his phone.โ€

โ€œThey locked him up in the room for three-four hours. They were asking where is Edgar,โ€ he narrated.

The controversial blogger says he kept quiet about the incident because his brother asked him not to make it public as he feared for his life.

The latest incident comes barely a week after the bloggerโ€™s Instagram account disappeared.

The social media account was deactivated days after he shared a series of screenshot messages on his Instagram stories, which supposedly revealed a web of money laundering gangs in Nairobi, reportedly referred to as โ€˜Wash Washโ€™.
