Tuesday, January 28, 2025 - The Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR) has claimed that individuals who were abducted in December 2024 were given between Sh2,000 and Sh3,000 by their abductors and were instructed not to speak about their ordeal.
The money was reportedly intended to facilitate their return
home, as they were allegedly abandoned in unknown locations.
In seeking to hold the state accountable for the abductions,
the commission’s lawyer stated that those abducted were subjected to torture.
"The petitioners were stripped naked for several days,
shaved, and physically assaulted," the court was told.
Appearing before Justice Bahati Mwamuye, the commission
argued that the state was responsible for the abductions and that the National
Police Service (NPS) should be held accountable.
Meanwhile, the Law Society of Kenya (LSK), together with the
Katiba Institute and other petitioners, are calling for the state to produce
other missing persons, whether dead or alive.
