The phone went dead, and with it, hope flickered like a candle in the wind, only that this time, the wind was gathering pace.
It was 9:20 pm on Tuesday when Standard Group Senior Editor Alex Kiprotich made his final desperate call to the company's Head of Security, Tom Kipyegon. The editor's voice was frantic, barely coherent, shouting that he was being abducted in Gilgil. Then silence. The line went dead. Kipyegon tried calling back repeatedly, but each attempt was met with nothing. Minutes later, Kiprotich's phone was completely switched off. The nightmare had begun. And the nightmare's name was Kenya Police.

Citizen TV has revealed that a shadowy police unit within the DCI was allegedly involved in the abduction of Standard Group editor Alex Kiprotich.

The unit, known as the Operations Support Unit (OSU), is reported to be operating without the law and targeting government critics.

Larry Madowo should have known that Kenya personalised 2024 and 2025. Gen Zs murders were really personal. People are angry and bitter. It awakened so many people.

The moment that police uniforms documentary dropped, some of us knew retaliation was coming. Because this government does not believe a Kenyan, ANY Kenyan -has the right to investigate power and expose it.

If you research the State and publish the truth, you become a target.

Armed men trail, abduct Standard Group's Associate Editor Alex Kiprotich

[I am Chege @_James041]

They abducted Alex Kiprotich yesterday night, probably for exposing corruption like the Police Uniforms tender fraud. They want to do business with our taxes without questioning. Every Kenyan has a right to demand accountability. You cannot abduct a news editor for asking why state tenders are being awarded to the President's family through proxies despite the existence of Conflicts of Interests Act. Free Alex Kiprotich and stop looting public resources in the name of hustling.

THE STANDARD GROUP PLC
PRESS STATEMENT
Nairobi, Kenya
September 1, 2026

STANDARD GROUP CONDEMNS ABDUCTION OF ITS SENIOR EDITOR, DEMANDS HIS IMMEDIATE AND SAFE RELEASE

The Standard Group PLC confirms that shortly before 9:20pm this evening, our Associate Editor, Alex Kiprotich, was abducted along the Gilgil–Nakuru road while travelling to Nakuru. We do not know where he is as we issue this statement.

This is the second time in as many months that Mr Kiprotich has been targeted. On 27 June 2026, armed men in a Toyota Probox a vehicle model repeatedly linked to enforced disappearances of government critics in Kenya, tried to seize him from his car as he drove to work in Nakuru. He got away by locking his doors and driving off. That attempt came days after President William Ruto publicly criticised this Group over its coverage, and our own investigations traced the vehicle to the National Police Service's Crime Research and Intelligence Bureau. No one has ever been held to account for it.

Tonight, that threat has been carried out.
We do not believe this is a coincidence. Mr Kiprotich has been at the forefront of our editorial output, including reporting that has scrutinised the conduct of the State, and tonight's abduction bears all the hallmarks of a targeted attack on a journalist for doing his job.

We believe it may be linked to elements within the State seeking to intimidate this Group into silence. If that is confirmed, this is not simply a crime against one man. It is an assault on the Constitution of Kenya, on the freedoms of expression and of the media guaranteed under Articles 33 and 34, and on the right of every Kenyan to independent information.

We say this plainly and without equivocation: the Standard Group holds the State responsible for Alex Kiprotich's safety and his life, and for anything that happens to him while he remains missing. Protecting the life and liberty of every citizen is the State's first duty, not an afterthought, and Mr Kiprotich's safety now rests entirely in its hands.

We are demanding:
1. The immediate, safe and unconditional release of Alex Kiprotich.

2. A prompt, transparent and independent investigation into his abduction, and into why no one has ever answered for the attempt of June 27, 2026.

3. Real, visible guarantees that journalists in Kenya will be protected, in keeping with commitments the President has already made publicly and has so far failed to honour.

We are calling on the Independent Policing Oversight Authority, the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights, the Law Society of Kenya, the Media Council of Kenya, the Committee to Protect Journalists, and everyone who values a free press in this country, to demand answers alongside us until Mr Kiprotich is found safe.

We will keep the public informed as we learn more, and we will not let this matter quietly fade from view.

GROUP CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER,

The economy is collapsing because Ruto is snatching all government business/ doing business with government. He wants to be richer than Kenyatta and Moi families combined. This is immeasurable greed.

Dear toothless @NCIC_Kenya, since you’re busy chasing bloggers, Linda Mwananchi and DCP leaders here’s Hon. Ngeria in Kapsaret speaking straight in a language you don’t need a translator. We know he is in government, so you will pretend you haven't seen this.
