Activist Boniface Mwangi, Hanifa Adan, the former Chief Justice Willy Mutunga and Haki Africa Executive Director Hussein Khalid have presented themselves at the DCI headquarters in Kiambu.
They drove to the DCI headquarters offices on Monday noon, saying they were seeking answers on why there have been a rising number of abductions since the Finance Bill 2024 protests started in the past week.
Mwangi also sought to know why an abduction attempt was made on him, arguing that he had committed no offence.
“We were almost abducted on Friday so we said instead of getting abducted in the streets we are going to present ourselves to the police. If we have broken any law take us to court but abduction and torture are illegal in this country,” stated Mwangi.
“What DCI is doing right now is abducting people who are expressing their rights to protest.”
On his part, ex-CJ Mutunga said he had appeared to show solidarity, noting that the abductions were in full violation of the law.
“Have you guys read article 238 of the Constitution? Because if you have, abductions are unconstitutional. The police are supposed to comply with human rights,” he said.
As of Monday morning, there was a public uproar over the increasing abductions of Kenyans believed to be playing a significant role in the anti-finance Bill protest.
The abductees have so far been released after public rage however the whereabouts of Shad Khalif, one of the top mobilizers of the demonstrations remain unknown.
