The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has summoned blogger Ndiangui Kinyagia, who reappeared today after a 13-day disappearance, allegedly spent in hiding.
The National Police Service (NPS) Spokesperson Muchiri Nyaga, in a statement has urged Kinyagia to present himself and record a statement at DCI headquarters along Kiambu road since he was a person of interest in the ongoing investigations.
“The service reiterates its earlier response that Ndiangui Kinyagia was not in police custody. 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 that exploits public outrage and sensational headlines” Nyaga said.
The summons comes hours after the IT expert and online commentator resurfaced and appear in court.
Kinyagia went missing from his home in Kinoo in Kiambu County on June 21. It was claimed he was picked by a contingent of police officers who also broke into his rented house.
His disappearance triggered public outrage, prompting the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) and other human rights groups to file petitions in court demanding his release.
