According to a statement by the Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja, none of his officers were holding Kenyans alleged to have been abducted in recent weeks.
“For the avoidance of doubt, the National Police Service is not involved in any abduction, and there is no police station in the country holding the reported abductees,” he stated.
