Americans ‘Panic’ as Kenyan Man from Nyeri Asks Protestors to Burn the White House

A Kenyan man has become the subject of discussion on social media after his comment on the ongoing protests against the killing of a civilian George Floyd in the US state of Minnesota went viral.

Commenting on a Facebook live post about the protests in Minneapolis on Friday night, Alex G Ndiritu from Nyeri called on protestors to invade and burn down the White House, the official residence of US president.

“Burn White House now…We are not turning back,” Ndiritu commented from the comfort of his house in Nyeri.

His comment alarmed some American citizens who tagged the CIA, the FBI, and the Secret Service calling for action against Ndiritu for ‘inciting the masses.’

Terrence Williams, an American comedian, and actor tweeted a screenshot of Ndiritu’s comment and urged US security agencies to be alert.

“THEY ARE THREATENING TO BURN DOWN THE WHITE HOUSE! We must Protect President Trump and his Administration. All threats must be taken seriously. Please RT to inform the FBI, Secret Service, and the CIA,” Terrence wrote on Twitter.

His post has attracted 8,000 retweets, 9,000 likes, and nearly 2,000 comments. As expected, Kenyans on Twitter (KOT), poked fun at how a man from a rural village in Nyeri ‘caused panic’ thousands of miles away.

@254_Rock stated: “Someone in rural Kenya threatening to burn the white house in America? is he gonna send fire through western union.”

@Tonnie_tash said: “Kenyans are everywhere and irritating the white supremacists I love my people.”
