The abduction of Teacher Rony Kiplagat, a teacher at PCEA Kimuri in Kikuyu, Kiambu, has shocked the community.
Rony, the brother of the well-known cartoonist Kibet, was forcibly taken on Saturday as he left church, sparking widespread concern and confusion.
A parent from the school, who preferred to remain anonymous, shared that her child is devastated by the news, as Rony is their class teacher and a respected member of the school community.
The parent stressed that Rony’s abduction appears to be entirely unrelated to his brother’s controversial political cartoons, as Rony is not involved in any public activism or controversy.
His abduction raises more questions about the ongoing wave of disappearances that have recently plagued the country.
In response to the incident, many Kenyans are drawing attention to the fact that Rony’s abduction seems to contradict the earlier statements made by the Inspector General of Police (IG), who denied that law enforcement officers were involved in these abductions.
While the police have dismissed claims of their involvement, the fact that innocent individuals like Rony are being targeted has raised doubts about the true perpetrators.
The incident has prompted calls for swift action to identify and apprehend those responsible for the abductions.
Human rights groups and the public are demanding that the authorities treat these abductions as serious criminal acts, with the perpetrators facing appropriate consequences.
As the investigation into Rony’s disappearance continues, many are hoping for his safe return and for justice to prevail.
