A catfish twitter account operating in the name of President-elect William Ruto’s daughter Charlene Ruto has been suspended by the platform.
On Tuesday, Kenyans woke up to the news that the 'Charlene Ruto' account that had accumulated over 142.1K followers had been suspended for violating Twitter's community guidelines.
News has it that the account was being used to impersonate Charlene Ruto and she might be the one who reported it.
The suspension of the said account come days after Twitter DCI went digging and discovered it was being managed by a 'Mjengo' man who had mastered the art of tailoring his tweets to appear and sound like Charlene Ruto.
A section of Kenyans online were quick to comment on the suspension, saying they always suspected the account was being operated by an imposter.
