Family of Bob Njagi opens up on how their kin was tortured and locked in a dark room following his abduction.
One of the three Kenyans who were forcefully ejected from a matatu in Kitengela during an abduction by unknown individuals has revealed that he was kept in solitary confinement.
The family of Bob Njagi, the Free Kenya Movement coordinator, revealed that their kin was locked up in a separate cell from others in an unknown location and was not allowed to speak to anyone during the detention.
The family told the media that Njagi disclosed to them that he was kept in a dark room and denied permission to go outside forcing him to even relieve himself inside the confinement.
They also revealed that Njagi told them that despite being locked up, he was neither interrogated nor informed why he was being held.
Njagi, who is currently under medical observation, is reportedly mentally disturbed from the incidents that he underwent raising concerns over a possible case of human rights abuse.
“He seems to be learning how to speak right now having spent many days in solitary confinement and not talking to anyone,” a source narrated to the media.
The family also noted how Njagi was held in handcuffs over the entire period that he was under the watch of his tormentors.

“I am sure they mentally tortured him badly, until now he is not able to speak fluently, he is behaving like someone who is being trained how to speak,” stated a relative who did not want to be named.
Njagi together with the other two brothers Jamil Longton and his brother Aslam Longton were held at unknown facilities for 32 days without their families’ knowledge of their whereabouts.
The arrears sparked fears within their families who raised fears over their wellbeing, attracting the attention of the Law Society of Kenya and other civil groups who moved to court to secure their release.
The High Court in Nairobi ordered the then-acting Inspector General of Police Gilbert Masengeli to produce the three in court or appear to give information on their whereabouts after suspicion was raised that the police might have picked them from the matatu.
Masengeli failed to appear in court over the three and was convicted for contempt of court, only to appear in court after the three were found dumped in a secluded area in Gachie on the outskirts of Nairobi town.
