The Acting IG Mr. Gilbert Masengeli is in Mandera Police Station meeting with NPS Officers.
According to a statement from the National Police Service, Masengeli had earlier made a stop in Wajir.
The Ag. IG who is accompanied by DCI Mr. Mohamed I. Amin and Commandant GSU, Mr. Ranson Lolmodooni, SAIG is conducting a security assessment of the operational areas including Wajir, Mandera and Garissa Counties this week following the recent probing attacks in the security camps, the latest being yesterday’s probing incident by suspected militia at Khorof Harar.
 This comes after he snubbed summons issued by the High Court requiring him to avail himself before the court over the disappearance of three people in Kitengela for the sixth time.
The state counsel representing him told the court on Monday that the now-seemingly defiant acting IG is still engaged in operational activities in Wajir and cannot avail himself for grilling.
Masengeli’s no-show comes despite his request that he be granted an extension for appearing on Monday as Counsel Wanjiku Mwangi said that he was on official duty in Mombasa.
The petitioners, through lawyer Nelson Havi, questioned how long the court will allow the acting IG to ignore court summons at his will and even send his deputy to appear on his behalf.
Masengeli is expected to explain the whereabouts of three individuals: Jamil Longton, his brother Aslam Longton, and activist Bob Njagi, who were reportedly abducted by individuals believed to be police officers on August 19, 2024, amid the Gen Z protests.
