You are tarnishing our good reputation – Police tell off Kenyans over increased abductions and kidnappings


Friday, December 27, 2024 - The National Police Service (NPS) has denied any involvement in the ongoing abductions and kidnappings that have raised widespread concern

In the last four days, at least five young men have forcibly disappeared, and their whereabouts kept under wraps by the unknown abductors.

Their disappearances sparked rage among the public, which has linked the incidents to the police.

However, Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja absolved his juniors of the extrajudicial acts.

In a statement, Kanja detailed the police's commitment to upholding the rule of law.

According to him, police strictly adhere to the service's standing orders, which demonstrates how the criminal justice system works, with abduction excluded.

The Police IG regretted that the public was wrongly linking the police with the unlawful forcible disappearances without any evidence.

According to him, no Kenyan was being wrongfully detained in any police station, restating that none of the law enforcers in the country is known to have had a hand in the abductions.

The IG cautioned the public against the unfounded accusations, saying it was tainting the reputation of the service.

"We therefore appeal to the public to refrain from spreading false, fabricated, malicious, distasteful, misinformed, and unverified information that aims to tarnish the National Police Service's reputation and image," said Kanja.

He urged the public to furnish the police with any information they might have about the abductions.
