Two brothers and an activist who went missing on August 19, 2024 in the wake of anti-government demonstrations in Kitengela, have been found alive in Kiambu County.
According to Law Society of Kenya (LSK) president Faith Odhiambo the brothers, Jamil and Aslay Longton were found dumped in Gachie, Kiambu County.
"I am informed that Jamil Longton and his brother Aslam were dumped at Gachie border of Kiambu and Nairobi by their captors. Every prayer and intervention made a difference. We thank God that they are safe!" She said on her X handle.
In a video released on the same social media platform, the brothers narrated the horrendous ordeal even as they thanked Kenyans for their support.
"We thank Kenyans for standing with us. We were dumped in the bush in Gachie and had to seek refuge at a home where we charged our mobile phones and reached out to our families," the two brothers said.
The brothers added that going forward they will communicate through the LSK president.
At the same time, activist Bob Njagi was found alive in Tigoni, Kiambu County. His father Longman Njagi exclusively told Hot 96 FM that his son is safe and sound.
"I was called late at night and informed by officers from Tigoni police station that my son was found alive," Njagi said.
He added that the activist was picked from the police station by his brother. "We thank God for the news. We have been down on our knees praying. We are very grateful," the activist's father added.
The news came hours after newly-appointed Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja maintained that the National Police Service (NPS) was not holding the three.
