Maina Njenga, former Mungiki leader allegedly abducted by unknown people according to the family.
Former Mungiki leader Maina Njenga has allegedly been abducted by unknown people within Kiambu town with family and lawyers giving different accounts of his abduction.
Njenga was pulled out of his vehicle on Saturday night, according to his brother, Njoroge Kamunya.
“He has been pulled out of his vehicle by unknown people. His [Njenga’s] driver has just informed us,” claimed Njoroge.
Njenga was headed home after visiting a friend in the Banana area, Kiambu when he was kidnapped at around 10.45 pm.
However, in a statement, his lawyer Ndegwa Njiru revealed that his client was abducted at his home in Kiambu.
Njiru further alleged that the former Mungiki leader was abducted by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) officers.
“He has been taken to an undisclosed location,” the lawyer told journalists.
The DCI is yet to comment on the the abduction claims.

This is the second abduction in recent times after he was kidnapped in July alongside two others namely; Felix Lekishe and Peter Kamunya at Lower Matasia in Ngong.
In May this year, Njenga made headlines when it was reported that police had raided his three homes in Nairobi, Nakuru, and Laikipia counties.
Not new to controversy, he would be placed on the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) wanted list in July.
Detectives said they were looking for the former Mungiki leader “in relation to the recovery of two firearms and over 90 rolls of bhang at a home linked to him.”
The recovery was made on May 12 when the police raided Njenga’s home in Ngomongo village in Bahati, Nakuru.
Maina Njenga was later released on a Ksh200,000 bond after he was charged for allegedly playing a huge role in planning anti-government demonstrations.
