The disappearance of prominent Kenyan social media personality Maverick Aoko has sparked widespread concern and speculation among her followers and fellow netizens.

Aoko, known for her outspoken and often controversial opinions, has not been active on her social media accounts for over 25 hours, leading to a flurry of anxious tweets and posts under the hashtag #FreeAoko.

The alarm was first raised when several users noticed that Aoko's Twitter account, which she frequently used to share her thoughts and engage with followers, had been deactivated.

This sudden silence from someone as vocal as Aoko sent shockwaves through the online community, with many fearing the worst.

"Where is Aoko?" has become the rallying cry on Twitter, with countless users expressing their concern and demanding answers.

Kelvin Kusienya, one of the many who tweeted, highlighted the unsettling fact that all of Aoko's posts had been deleted, yet her account remained accessible.

Others, like Juma Mukosi, speculated that Aoko's disappearance might be linked to a broader scheme to silence her after her manager had reportedly been targeted first.

The situation escalated as public figures and ordinary citizens alike joined the growing chorus of voices seeking Aoko's whereabouts.

Senator Okiya Omtatah, a renowned activist, tweeted a chilling message suggesting that Aoko had been subjected to severe mistreatment, including physical violence and miscarriage.

"Ambushed, roughed up naked. Beaten to miscarriage. Bungled onto a cold remand floor for days. Now, her X account gone! Whereabouts unknown?" Omtatah wrote, further fueling the concerns of her safety.

The lack of official communication or confirmation regarding Aoko's situation has only intensified the anxiety.

Prominent users like Duke of Kabondoshire and Kapelo have echoed the sentiment, urging the public to continue demanding answers until Aoko is found safe.

Even Babu Owino, a political figure, has been called upon to use his influence to uncover Aoko's location, with some suggesting that this could be his first major test as a self-proclaimed "Luo Kingpin."

As the hashtag #FreeAoko continues to trend, the situation remains tense, with her followers growing increasingly impatient.

The online community has made it clear that they will not rest until Aoko is located and her safety is assured.
