The two families of three young men abducted in Kitengela after protesting the arrest of Safina Party Leader Jimmi Wanjigi have appealed to President William Ruto for help in securing the return of their loved ones
The youths, identified as Bob Njagi, Aslam Longton, and Jamil Longton, were taken by individuals in suits who claimed to be police officers from Nairobi but provided no reason for the arrests.
Friends, family members, and boda boda riders in Kitengela said that the trio was abducted shortly after addressing the media in Kamukunji police station Nairobi, to protest Wanjigi’s arrest.
“We request the president to keep his promise during campaigns that no one will be abducted or assassinated under his rule when elected,” said Abdulrazak Longton, brother to Jamil and Aslam.
Businessman Wanjigi was arrested this Monday and detained at Kamukunji Police Station after appearing before the Regional Investigation Officer at the Nairobi Area Police Station.
According to the police, Wanjigi was summoned regarding a vehicle discovered outside his gate on August 8, 2024. The police reportedly found tear gas canisters, mobile phones, and various other items inside the car. Wanjigi has denied any connection to the vehicle or its contents.
