Law Society of Kenya President Faith Odhiambo has raised the alarm over another abduction case amid the rising police abductions as protests against the now-withdrawn Finance Bill 2024.
Odhiambo took to her X account on Wednesday evening saying that Peter Nyamweya Oginga was abducted at 9.30pm in Juja.
“We are demanding his immediate release! No more abductions!!!” she wrote.
The LSK president was just from an interview on Citizen TV’s JKLive Show where she condemned the abductions as she drew parallels to the authoritarian era of the late former President Daniel Moi.
“This is shocking! I feel like we are going back to the Moi era; the last we heard of abductions and torture chambers. Our country is singing about and in the region people are praising Kenyans such abductions coming back. Some of the abducted persons have been released but others remain unaccounted for,” she said.
She also called for the immediate release of protesters in detention and urged accountability from law enforcement authorities.
Over the past two weeks, individuals who have taken a vocal stance online against the unpopular Finance Bill 2024 have been abducted and held incummunicado and later released after public uproar.
Some of them include Gabriel Oguda, Shad Khalif, and those behind the X pages Franje, Drey Mwangi and Osama Otero.
