Kenya has recently recorded several abductions that were later revealed to be murders after thorough investigation.
The most recent kidnapping involved two Indian nationals, Zulfiqar Ahmad Khan and Mohamed Zaid Sami Kidwai, as well as their taxi driver, Nicodemus Mwania, from Mombasa Road.
Internal Affairs Unit (IAU) detectives now believe the trio was murdered and their bodies dumped in the Aberdare forest.
The Indians were reported to have arrived in Kenya in April to join William Ruto’s ICT campaign team, but they were abducted outside the Ole Sereni hotel on July 25 and went missing.
According to police, they were kidnapped by armed men in an unmarked car.
Mr Khan was well-known for his use of social media. His sudden silence raised eyebrows, and his family went on the hunt for him. He was never discovered.
Nine officers from the now-defunct Special Service Unit are believed to know what happened after the three people were abducted and are being held in custody while investigations continue.
President William Ruto recently announced that the police unit had been disbanded due to its involvement in extrajudicial killings and enforced disappearances.
The Independent Policing Oversight Authority (Ipoa) announced earlier this week that it was investigating 112 cases of forcible disappearance, assuring Kenyans that the majority of the cases had been concluded and that the next step was charging the accused in court.
Some of these mysterious abductions includes that of;
Solomon Joloimat Lenengwesi, M.D.
He went missing on July 8, and Ipoa took up his case on August 22.
The businessman had just finished a meeting with a friend in a city hotel and was on his way to Kileleshwa when he was stopped by a vehicle that was blocking his path.
