The Police Reforms Working Group received confirmation in court this morning that Mr. Ndiangui Kinyagia is safe, bringing a sense of relief. As we wait for further information on the circumstances of Mr. Kinyagia’s disappearance, we note that the spike in abductions and prolonged unlawful detention has caused national intimidation and deep fear among many Kenyans. It must be further noted that Mr. Kinyagia had no known police record, yet armed DCI officers chose to besiege and then raid his home over a weekend rather than issuing simple summons.
