Joy has engulfed the family of a Baringo businessman who was allegedly abducted by armed men travelling in a double-cabin vehicle near Lake Baringo after he was found alive but in a weak condition.
The businessman, identified as Enoch Chelimo, who was reportedly taken from his home in Kampi Samaki, near Lake Baringo, by individuals suspected to be police officers, has reportedly been found in Marigat town.
Chelimo had been missing for more than 10 days, leaving his family members worried about his whereabouts and safety.
His disappearance had also attracted public attention, with concerns growing over the circumstances surrounding his alleged abduction.
According to reports, the businessman was taken away on the night of Saturday, November 1, 2026, following a dramatic incident at his home involving three armed men whose faces were reportedly covered.
His family said the incident happened at approximately 11:30 pm, just hours after Chelimo had spent time with his son and grandchildren.
What began as an ordinary evening reportedly turned into a frightening experience when the family heard unusual noises outside their house.
His daughter-in-law, Faith Cheboi, recounted how the family became alarmed after hearing suspicious movements around their home.
The situation reportedly escalated when the armed men attempted to force their way into the house.
Cheboi said the individuals eventually broke down the door and gained entry before demanding to know where the elderly businessman was.
The men reportedly proceeded with their mission, leaving the family distressed as they watched Chelimo being taken away under unclear circumstances.
Since then, his relatives have been searching for answers, with the prolonged disappearance raising serious questions about his safety and the people behind the incident.
The family had reportedly been living in uncertainty, not knowing where he was being held or whether he was receiving proper care.
His sudden disappearance also prompted concerns among residents, who called for authorities to establish what had happened.
In a related development, the High Court had ordered security agencies to produce Chelimo before the court following concerns surrounding his disappearance.
