Embakasi East Member of Parliament Babu Owino has raised alarm over the alleged abduction of his brother-in-law, Geoffrey Anjike, claiming he was picked up by officers believed to be from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI).
In an emotional video shared on his X account, the outspoken legislator said his brother-in-law contacted him at around 4PM, informing him that six DCI officers had arrested him and were taking him to the Nairobi Area Police Headquarters.
“Ladies and gentlemen, today my brother-in-law, Geoffrey Anjike, called and told me that he was arrested by six DCI officers and that he was being brought here to the Nairobi Area Police Hqs. I am here at the moment, and I have not found him,” Babu said.
He added that his brother-in-law’s phone is currently switched off, raising anxiety among family members who have been trying to trace him.
According to Babu, Anjike had earlier confided in him about receiving threats from Interior Principal Secretary Raymond Omolo.
“Yesterday, my brother-in-law told me that, and right now his phone is off. He told me that one Raymond Omollo has been intimidating him, and today, goons have been sent to intimidate him,” he claimed in the video urging the relevant authorities to clarify Anjike’s whereabouts, saying the family is deeply worried about his safety.
Babu urged authorities to produce his brother-in-law in court if he had committed any offence, insisting that due process must be followed.
“If he has done anything wrong, let him be presented before a court of law,” he stated.
Despite the incident, the MP declared that the much-anticipated Linda Mwananchi rally scheduled to take place in Kakamega will proceed as planned, terming the alleged abduction as an intimidation tactic aimed at derailing the event.
