Two brothers, activist abducted onboard a Kitengela-bound matatu by masked men driving Subarus in Kitengela
Two brothers, activist abducted onboard a Kitengela-bound matatu by masked men driving Subarus in Kitengela.
Two families in Kitengela are gripped by anguish after their loved ones were abducted on Monday.
Bob Njagi, leader of the Free Kenya Movement, was forcibly taken by masked individuals from a matatu he was traveling in.
Njagi was last seen in an interview with Citizen TV outside Kamukunji Police Station, where businessman Jimmy Wanjigi was detained on Monday evening.
“The last time we saw him was on Monday on Citizen TV. Later, we were told he was abducted by unknown people… His phone has been unreachable since,” Frank Njagi, Bob’s father, said.
Shortly after, the Kitengela-bound matatu he was in was intercepted by a Subaru, with three masked men forcibly taking him away and speeding off.
“He was in a Rembo matatu. They took him by force,” said Frank.
Since then, Bob’s whereabouts are unknown, his phone remains off, and police deny any involvement.
“Even if they arrested him, why not take him to court?” Isabela Njagi, Bob’s mother, posed.
Meanwhile, two brothers were abducted by men in a Subaru outside their home in Kitengela, and their whereabouts remain unknown, with police remaining mum on their disappearance.
Aslam Longton and his elder brother Jamil were abducted outside their Kitengela home the same Monday. Their family has not slept in peace since.
“I was called by neighbors who told me that my husband was taken outside,” said Salwa Mohamed, Jamil’s wife.

Witnesses report that a Subaru blocked their car, then forcibly took the brothers. Aslam had been organizing protests against the government in Kitengela.
“They had a Subaru… And they had been parked here for a while, watching,” said a boda boda rider who requested his name be withheld.
Their other brother Abdirazak Longton said: “Walikuwa wanaandikia mabarua wanapelekea OCS, wanamwambia tarehe fulani na fulani kutakuwa na maandamano.”
Despite reporting these abductions, both families have received no updates, and their phones remain off. The family of the two brothers has expressed growing fears for their safety and concern about their whereabouts.
In Kibra, Boniface Ambasou and Moses Mwawura Njau vanished from the streets of Kibra’s Laini Saba area on August 2, shortly after the nationwide anti-government protests. Twenty-one days later, their families are still searching for answers.
