Simon Mutite has been released, three months after he was allegedly abducted in Laikipia County.
In a statement on Tuesday, February 11, Law Society of Kenya President Faith Odhiambo confirmed that Mutite had been released and reunited with his family.
“Mr. Simon Mutite has been released after being held incommunicado for more than 3 months. He is safe with his family but remains petrified by his ordeal. We will extend the necessary legal and psychosocial support to him and the family,” Odhiambo stated.
This comes weeks after the LSK President was asked by Mutite’s family to provide legal aid following his alleged abduction.
Mutite is said to have been picked up by officers from the Special Operations Unit in Timau Laikipia on October 22, 2024.
