This comes hours after Azimio La Umoja coalition said Njenga was taken by rogue police officers who did not identify themselves and demanded for his release.

“The abductors were therefore easily part of the Special Support Unit that terrorized Kenyans during the anti-tax protests. The SSU is therefore very much alive, active and determined to intimidate and even harm Kenyans,” Azimio said in statement ion Sunday.

However, police are yet to comment on the issue.

His abduction happened in Banana area, Kiambu on Saturday night.

The motive of the incident is yet to be disclosed.
