According to the DCI, detectives tracked the suspect to the Miritini area of Mombasa County and arrested him at his hideout.
"Following forensic leads, detectives trailed Okindo to his hideout in the Miritini area of Mombasa County, where he was swiftly apprehended," the statement added.
Authorities said a search of his house revealed several items they believe are linked to potential subversive activity.
"A subsequent search of his residence revealed the following: two pairs of tactical combat fatigues, a notebook with the writings, 'We are going to apply guerrilla resistance tactics – Justice to all freedom heroes', three mobile phones, assorted documents linked to the Justice Direction Party, among other items," the statement further read.
Okindo is currently in police custody and is awaiting arraignment.
Okindo's arrest comes a week after detectives arrested Patrick Osoi, a former Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) soldier and U.S. Army veteran, in connection with the formation of the Fighting Brutality and Impunity (FBI) movement.
Osoi was arrested on Tuesday, August 29, and faces serious charges, including terrorism facilitation, recruitment, possession of firearms and ammunition without certification, and preparation to commit a felony.
His arrest followed a coordinated operation led by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) along Lang’ata Road in Nairobi.
The following day, Wednesday, July 30, Jackson Kuria Kihara, widely known by his alias Cop Shakur, was also arrested.
The former prison officer was apprehended while heading to the Kahawa Law Courts to show support for Osoi.
Upon his arrest, officers recovered a red beret labeled 'FBI,' further linking him to the activist movement.
Meanwhile, Police Constable Hiram Kimathi, another member of the FBI group, was arrested from his hideout in Makutano, Meru County.
The arrest is suspected to be in relation to the formation of the 'FBI' movement alongside Cop Shakur and Osoi.
DCI officers camped at Kimathi’s residence since mid-morning forcing him to surrender after which he was handcuffed and put into a Subaru vehicle before being driven away.
