Popular TikToker Joseph Gitonga Kihanya, popularly known as Gitonga Archives, will undergo a mental assessment at Kenyatta National Hospital following his arrest over failure to attend court in a case in which he is accused of extortion.
The directive was issued by City Court Magistrate Grace Ouko on Monday after Gitonga was brought before the court following his arrest in Nakuru and subsequent transfer to Nairobi.
His arrest followed a warrant issued on October 1, 2026, after he failed to appear for proceedings in the case.
