DCI Flags Letter Summoning Martha Karua Over Abductions Comments
A letter summoning Narc Kenya Party Leader Martha Karua was flagged as fake by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations on Wednesday.
The letter directs Karua to appear at its headquarters on Kiambu Road to shed light on an alleged abduction squad run by state security officials.
The letter, which bore DCI branding and was signed by senior officer J.K. Marete, indicated that the DCI was summoning Karua to appear in person at the DCI’s Special Crimes Unit.
The letter claimed that the DCI summoned her over claims that she made some remarks that suggested there was a special security group comprised of officers from the DCI and Kenya Defence Forces’ Army unit that had been abducting and wreaking havoc on Kenyans.

‘’The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has taken urgent note of your recent public statement, issued on Sunday 27th October 2024, in the company of Chief Justice Emeritus Willy Mutunga, Hon. Kabando wa Kabando, among others. You raised serious allegations of a resurgence of targeted abductions, disappearances, and extrajudicial killings,’’ the flagged letter read in part.
‘’Of particular concern is your reference to specific operatives and locations purportedly linked to these incidents, suggesting a highly organized, clandestine group acting outside established security channels,’’ it added.
At the time this article was published, Karua had not issued a statement regarding the fake letter.
This followed the DCI’s recent high-profile summons of key political leaders, including impeached Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, who was scheduled to appear on October 21.
Gachagua failed to appear, and the agency has yet to respond to the summons.
The impeached DP was attending his ongoing impeachment case at the High Court on the day he was to appear, with police erecting security perimeters in anticipation of protests.

Other leaders have been summoned, including former Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu, who was arrested by detectives along the Eastern Bypass on September 30.
Waititu was detained at the DCI headquarters and later released by the court.
The government has been on the receiving end of claims of state-sanctioned abductions and disappearances, which have been increasing in recent months.
Kenyans on social media have been leading the call for an end to the menace, with social media activist Maverick Aoko’s whereabouts unknown since she vanished last week.
