Four Police Officers Arrested Over the Disappearance of a Kenyan and Two Indian Nationals

Four police officers have been arrested in connection with the disappearance of two Indian nationals and a Kenyan in July.

Mohamed Zaid, Ahmad Khan, and a Kenyan man identified as Nicodemus Mwania were reportedly abducted near Ole Sereni Hotel on Mombasa Road on July 24th and driven away in vehicle without a number plate.

It is said the two Indian nationals were in the country to work in President Ruto’s IT team ahead of the August 9th general election. Mwania was the driver of a vehicle hired by the Indians.

It is suspected that officers attached the recently disbanded Special Service Unit of the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) were responsible for the kidnapping of the three missing persons.

The Standard reported that four officers of the dissolved SSU who are suspected to have been involved in the abduction of the three are being held separately at Kilimani, Kileleshwa and Capitol Hill police stations. They include a Chief Inspector of Police and three police constables.

Their attorney, Danstan Omari, told the publication that police intend to charge the four officers with kidnapping, abuse of office and conspiracy to commit a felony.
