Joakim Simiyu exposes how abductions are used as an instrument of fear to control the people so that there is no uprising.
"Causing fear among the population - that you can not protest, you will be Denzel Omondi or Davis Lichuma. You don't know who is next. So it is a way of suppression so that you don't talk about the problems you're facing. "
The information we have about Halima Ngache upto now is that she was presented in court today, Milimani Magistrates Court and the court has granted Kiambu based criminal enterprise three days to detain her in the name of investigations.
We are trying to follow up on which police station is she being taken.

I'm afraid that if we don't follow up on Halima's case, something bad might happen to her.
She was abducted yesterday from her home by DCI officers, leaving her son behind. Her family has searched for her at different police stations across Mombasa without any success. Where is Halima Ngathe?
Enforced disappearances are happening again, and we will not remain silent.
The DCI are yet to tell us where she is. They claim she posted sensitive information about the movements of a protected person, whom I believe is President Ruto. If our taxes are used to fund private jet travel and go take loans abroad, shouldn't the public be allowed to know?
"ORDERS FROM ABOVE?"
Not anymore.
If an officer is held personally liable for unlawful harm, "I was following orders" won't pay the compensation.
Accountability is getting real.
Fikirini's bodyguard just decided to shoot to kill a comrade just because he demanded answers about the upcoming NYC elections following the gazzettement earlier done by the Ministry. Why kill youths that you lead?

To show you how barbaric the Ruto regime is: we are informed that the DCI arrived at Halima Ngache's place, took her phone, and abducted her, leaving her young son at the door completely confused.
They even seized the laptop, phone, and tablet of a friend of hers, leaving that friend with absolutely no way to call for help.
They reportedly carried out this raid using a white Subaru. The friend immediately began a desperate search, going first to Central Police, she wasn't there.
They went to Urban Police-nothing. They met the CCIO, who told them to check Nyali Police Station-they found nothing.
They moved on to Bamburi, Mjambere, and returned to Central-still nothing. Finally, they checked Mbaraki, and still found absolutely nothing.
As we speak, even her family has no idea where she is being held. I have spent the whole of today making frantic calls in Kenya, but we have nothing. Halima Ngache has been abducted. The DCI hasn’t even bothered to explain where she is. The issued a vague statement.
We must speak up for Halima. Whether or not someone is linked to a government-critical account should never be a basis for an enforced disappearance or arbitrary detention. We must Speak up!
