Five DCI Officers Arrested Over Disappearance of Two Indians Working with Ruto's Campaign Team
Five more police officers have been arrested in connection with the disappearance and suspected murder of the two Indian nationals, who were working with President Ruto's campaign team.
Zulfiqar Ahmad Khan, Mohamed Zaid and their Kenyan taxi driver named Nicodemus Mwania were reportedly abducted near Ole Sereni Hotel on Mombasa Road on July 24th and driven away in a vehicle without number plates.
The two Indian nationals were in the country to work in President Ruto’s Information and Communication Technology (ICT) team ahead of the August 9th general election.
The five new suspects are Joseph Mbaya, David Kipsoi, Stephen Mutunda, Paul Muriithi and Simon Gikonyo. The five were attached to the disbanded Special Service Unit (SSU) of the DCI, which is accused of extrajudicial killings and enforced disappearances.
“They are being investigated for the offenses of conspiracy to commit a felony and abduction,” a police report filed at the Internal Affairs Unit Headquarters said.
The five arrests bring the total number of police officers in custody over the disappearance of the three to nine. The other four suspects are police officers Peter Muthee, Francis Muendo, John Mwangi and Joseph Kamau.
The four were on Wednesday arraigned before Kahawa Chief Magistrate Diana Mochache, who granted the prosecution orders to detain them for 30 days as investigations continue.

This piece of info seems a totally news to me now. Is there anyone might have heard of this during the campaign or supreme court hearing about, quoting
"The two Indian nationals were in the country to work in President Ruto’s Information and Communication Technology (ICT) team ahead of the August 9th general election." ???
Kenya is 100% a Terrorist state.
There is no difference between police and criminals.
They’re all the same.
These murderers should all be hanged, pronto!!!
it's almost impossible as the Kenyan courts are indirectly run by the state counsel ( govt prosecutors) who gets their orders from the DPP office who also subdue to the kaburu Ruto and company.
This is not new news to those who comes from Kenya, Remember, Jomo used them, Moi used them, some are hired guns, some act like cartels.
How many murders goes unsolved in Kenya?
How many robberies are committed by the cops?
How many cops lease their guns to actual gangs?
Most murders that are never solved are committed by men in uniforms. The thing is you cannot send a dog to catch a dog.
