Authorities say the suspects are accused of distributing intimate photos of another woman believed to have been secretly involved with the man.
According to investigators, the victim thought she was in a committed relationship, during which they shared private moments together.
She later discovered that her personal photos had been circulated on social media.
Police believe the man and his girlfriend may have worked together to embarrass the woman by posting the images online.
Although investigations are ongoing, detectives suspect the incident may have been driven by jealousy or personal conflict.
The case has angered many residents in Mombasa, with community members criticizing the misuse of social media to target others.
Law-enforcement officials have warned that cyberbullying and the sharing of private content without permission are serious offenses that can lead to legal consequences.
The two suspects remain in custody at Kongowea Police Station while investigations continue.
Police say they are handling the case carefully because of the emotional distress and damage to the victim’s reputation.
Meanwhile, the woman is being supported by family members as she copes with the situation, and activists are urging stronger enforcement of cybercrime laws to prevent similar incidents in the future.
