DCI investigates the alleged abduction of PAG General Presiding Superintendent, Bishop Patrick Lihanda.
Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) in Vihiga and Kakamega counties have launched a probe into the alleged abduction of PAG General Presiding Superintendent, Bishop Patrick Lihanda.
The bishop reportedly went missing yesterday evening under mysterious circumstances.
Bishop Lihanda left the Nyang’ori PAG headquarters around 4 p.m. on his way to a meeting in Mbale town, Vihiga County.
Shortly afterward, he sent a distressing SMS to his driver, claiming his life was in danger.
The driver’s attempts to contact him were unsuccessful, as the bishop’s phone was switched off moments later.
Alarmed, the driver reported the matter to the Mbale Police Station, prompting swift action from DCI officers who tracked the phone’s location to Mayoni.
Mumias Sub-county police commander Stephen Muoni confirmed on Sunday morning, that Bishop Lihanda’s vehicle, a white Mercedes Benz was found abandoned at Shibale Trading Centre in Mumias, Kakamega County.

The vehicle’s headlights were still on, but there were no occupants. Inside, officers found only the bishop’s Bible, spectacles, and diary.
The alleged abduction comes just days before highly anticipated and contested PAG church elections scheduled for October 1, 2024, at the Nyang’ori church headquarters.
The church has been embroiled in a five-year-long leadership dispute between two rival factions, leading to numerous court cases.
The ongoing power struggle has raised concerns about whether the upcoming elections will proceed as planned.
The investigation is ongoing as authorities work to unravel the circumstances surrounding Bishop Lihanda’s disappearance.
