The High Court has ordered Acting Police IG Gilbert Masengeli to appear in person at 3 pm Tuesday for questioning over the disappearance of three people in Kitengela two weeks ago.
Justice Lawrence Mugambi had on August 28 directed the Inspector General of Police, DPP, AG, DCI, and National Intelligence Service to immediately disclose the whereabouts of Bob Micheni, Jamil Longton, and Aslam Longton to the Law Society of Kenya which has filed the case in court.
This order has however not been complied with.
LSK filed the case stating that Several reports have been made that the three were abducted by armed police officers, taken away, and held incommunicado at undisclosed locations.
According to the court documents, the three through their social media platforms sensitized the youth to come out in large numbers and to advocate for the rejection of the finance bill in totality.
They also allegedly asked Kenyans to actively participate in the countrywide protests agitating for change in the country.
“It was then that the respondents through armed police officers started abducting them,” LSK claimed.
LSK says Bob was abducted on 19th August 2024 at around 10:40 pm by masked men on his way home from a matatu commonly known as the Rembo shuttle in the Kasina area.
The other two were abducted on August 19, 2024 at around 2:00 pm while leaving their house at Kitengela.
They were allegedly bundled into a white Subaru that drove off to an unknown destination and are yet to be released to date.
“None of these persons has been charged with any known offence before any court of law in Kenya,” says LSK
