Award-winning media personality Larry Madowo has revealed multiple individuals who have been sending him threatening messages.

The CNN international correspondent took to his social media platforms to share messages he had received from individuals threatening to beat him when they encountered him on the streets of Nairobi.

In his response, Larry Madowo used GidiMajimaji’s song to clap back at those threatening him.

“I am unbwogable!” Larry fired back.

The threatening messages surfaced amid accusations from a group of content creators who claimed that Larry had abandoned them during the anti-finance bill protests on Thursday. In an online video, the content creators lamented that Larry did not protect them from the police.

However, netizens have criticized these content creators for masquerading as journalists without proper identification and attire.

“Kwani, what’s required of a journalist in such moments… a press card, a press jacket, and a helmet… if they don’t have those, you can’t blame Larry for that. It wasn’t his duty to defend them,” one netizen commented.

Here are some netizens who are standing with the seasoned journalist:

@aminaabdirabar: “Usitishwe!! We are right behind you.”
@dj2one2: “Bure kabisa. Stay strong, we appreciate you. Viva.”
@alfasamba: “If they try touching you, we are dismantling this country for good.”

@misssharz14: “These are paid goons also sent to threaten you. These people can’t stand the fact that you gave such good coverage of the anti-finance bill protests.
