Faking the president's death for internet clout is certainly a choice. Atheists in Kenya chairperson Harrison Nyende Mumia appeared in court after allegedly posting edited photos suggesting President William Ruto had died or fallen critically ill. Prosecutors charged him under cybercrime laws for spreading this misinformation knowingly using social media platforms.

Court documents claim Mumia operated a Facebook account named Robinson Kipruto Ngetich to share the manipulated pictures. He also allegedly used his personal Instagram handle to circulate similar shots depicting the state leader lying on a hospital bed to mislead the public regarding his health status.

The state argues these posts amount to intentional dissemination of false data, punishable under the Computer Misuse and Cybercrimes Act. The magistrate released the suspect on a cash bail of five hundred thousand shillings or a one million shilling bond while legal proceedings continue.
