Speaking through a video shared online on Thursday, May 21, 2026, the influencer strongly cautioned against the growing wave of online speculation that has seen some social media users openly naming individuals as suspects before investigations are completed.
She questioned the logic behind what she described as “social media investigations,” arguing that it was premature and unfair for the public to act as if they had access to verified intelligence while official agencies are still working on the case.
Priscilla stressed that formal investigations exist for a reason, noting that the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has established procedures meant to uncover facts before any public conclusions are made.
She expressed concern that some online discussions had already circulated claims directly linking Gachagua to the incident, despite the absence of official findings confirming such allegations.
According to her, such behaviour risks undermining the credibility of lawful investigative processes and could mislead the public into believing unverified narratives.
She further questioned how individuals online could confidently present accusations without evidence, while state agencies with legal mandate and resources are still gathering facts.
Priscilla warned that this growing trend of premature judgement could discourage trust in law enforcement institutions if people continue to behave like investigators on social media.
She urged Kenyans to remain patient, allow the DCI to complete its work, and avoid spreading claims that could damage reputations or fuel misinformation.
In her closing remarks, she emphasised that no individual should be declared guilty in the public court of opinion before conclusive evidence is presented, adding that fairness and responsibility must guide public discussion on sensitive matters.
