Two families are calling on the police to reveal the whereabouts of their loved ones who were abducted on Monday.
Bob Njagi, the leader of the Free Kenya Movement, was forcefully taken by masked men while traveling in a matatu. His abduction occurred shortly after he appeared in an interview on Citizen TV, just outside Kamukunji Police Station, where businessman Jimmy Wanjigi was being held.
Bob’s father, Frank Njagi, shared that his son’s phone has been unreachable since the abduction, and authorities have denied any involvement.
“The last time we saw him was on Citizen TV. Later, we were informed he was abducted by unknown people... His phone has been unreachable since,” Frank said. Bob’s mother, Isabela Njagi, questioned why, if arrested, her son was not brought to court.

In a separate incident in Kitengela, two brothers, Aslam and Jamil Longton, were abducted outside their home by men in a Subaru.
Aslam had been actively organizing anti-government protests in the area, and his wife, Salwa Mohamed, was informed of the abduction by concerned neighbors. Witnesses reported that a Subaru blocked their car before the brothers were forcefully taken.
Despite filing reports, both families have received no updates, deepening their fears for their loved ones' safety. Their phones remain switched off, adding to the anxiety.
These recent kidnappings are part of a worrying trend, echoing the earlier disappearance of Boniface Ambasou and Moses Mwawura Njau, who vanished from Kibra on August 2 during nationwide protests.
Despite government promises to end forced disappearances, these incidents continue, leaving families desperate for answers and justice.
