DCI Summons Ndiangui Kinyagia Hours Despite Court Ruling
The National Police Service (NPS) has ordered activist Ndiangui Kinyagia to appear at the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) headquarters, hours after he emerged.
NPS Spokesperson Muchiri Nyaga issued a statement on Thursday evening urging Ndiangui to appear and record a statement because he was a person of interest in the current investigations.
Nyaga went on to restate the police service’s initial stance that Ndiangui was neither detained nor held in police custody during his 13-day missing.
While setting the record right, the police spokeswoman expressed alarm about the growing practice of people faking abductions to capitalize on public wrath.
According to him, such behaviors undermine the integrity of law enforcement efforts and harm the police service’s credibility.

“Ndiangui had been reported missing, and information circulating on social as well as mainstream media accused the Police Service of allegedly abducting him,” read part of the police statement.
“Nonetheless, he remains a person of interest to the police and is hereby urged to present himself to the DCI Headquarters to record a statement.”
“The Service reiterates its earlier response that Ndiangui Kinyagia was not in police custody,” the statement added.
“We take great exception to the emerging trend whereby individuals feign abduction and provide false information to the police, intending to generate a misleading narrative.”
To prevent a repeat, Nyaga cautioned Kenyans not to stage abductions, stating that such activities were a criminal offense punishable by harsh penalties.
The police agency also stated its commitment to sustaining the greatest levels of constitutional loyalty, including operational independence and impartiality.

Kinyagia went missing from his home in Kinoo, Kimabu County, on June 22, with initial, unsubstantiated accounts from witnesses claiming that he was forcibly removed by unknown people.
His disappearance sparked widespread anger, causing the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) and other human rights organizations to file court petitions seeking his release.
However, Kinyagia’s family lawyer stated on Thursday morning that he had been discovered alive and well, adding that he had gone into hiding for fear of being imprisoned.
