His lawyers, led by Ndegwa Njiru, protested the charges, terming the arrest politically motivated.

They argued that Kimure should have been charged in the area where he was arrested rather than being transferred.

The defense further claimed that he was held incommunicado at Isinya Police Station before being presented at the Kajiado Law Courts late Thursday evening.

Kimure who did not take plea is expected to spend the night at Kajiado Police Station awaiting the processing of his bond.

Reports indicate that at the time of the alleged abduction, he was in the company of Embakasi West Mp Mark Mwenje, who reported the incident.
