Two families in Bomet County are requesting information from the authorities on the whereabouts of their relatives.
On December 7, 2024, two individuals, Kevin Kiplangat alias Elvis and Dominic Kipng’eno alias Muge, were abducted while driving down Mahi Mahiu Road by armed men who were assumed to be police officers.
Families said efforts to locate the missing people have been ineffective, and their locations have remained unknown for the past five days.
