Former Cabinet Secretary Raphael Tuju’s health is reportedly deteriorating hours after his detention at the Karen Police Station.
Tuju was placed on oxygen support while in police custody at Karen Police Station after his health reportedly deteriorated hours following his detention.
A video that surfaced on Tuesday, March 24, shows the former Jubilee Party secretary general lying on what appears to be a makeshift bed inside the station, covered with a duvet.
An oxygen tube is seen connected to his nose, while an IV drip runs beside him, with an unidentified person briefly adjusting the flow.
The footage has raised fresh concerns about Tuju’s condition, coming barely a day after police confirmed he had received medical attention while in custody.
Tuju was taken to Karen Police Station on Monday, March 23, in the afternoon after resurfacing following a two-day disappearance that had sparked anxiety.
He had been reported missing on Saturday, March 21, alongside his driver, Steve Mwanga, under circumstances that remained unclear.
Upon his reappearance, police officers escorted him from his Karen home to record a statement, marking a dramatic turn in a saga that had already drawn public attention.
Shortly after his arrest, Tuju’s legal team claimed he had been mishandled during the operation and sustained injuries.
The lawyers pushed for his immediate transfer to Karen Hospital, arguing that his condition required urgent medical evaluation in a proper facility.
Instead, medical personnel from Karen Hospital were dispatched to the police station, where they attended to him within the confines of the facility.
Police officials later confirmed that treatment had been administered after Tuju complained of health complications following his arrest.
However, the emergence of the new video suggests that his condition may have worsened overnight, prompting the need for oxygen support and continued monitoring.
