Morara Kebaso has been abducted in a Subaru Forester KCQ 166J while leaving his office, Monday September 30.
His lawyer, who followed a police car to Nairobi Regional Headquarters in Nairobi, revealed that the team was blocked from accessing the facility.
“They have restricted access and have strict instruction from the top not to allow any person to access Morara including lawyers, media personnel, and any other persons,” the lawyer told the press.
‘’The question is what type of police do we have here? They have no respect for the constitution, they have no respect for the ruler of the law. The head is rotten all the way from the Minister of Interior including all the officers that we have here holding Morara and we should condemn it in the strongest way possible.”
The reasons for his arrest remains mysterious.
Several Kenyans, in reaction to the arrest, took to social media to lament terming it as an abduction.
A witness alleged that a Subaru Forester was used in the abduction incident. In one of the videos posted online after the arrest, the Subaru can be seen making its way along Thika Superhighway.
Kebaso had spent the better part of the weekend in Bomet and Kericho counties carrying out his usual civic education rallies and exposing stalled government projects in the President’s tuff.
Barely an hour before he was arrested, Kebaso took to his X account to denounce the brutal abduction and torture of Mombasa-based blogger Bruce John.
In the audacious video, Kebaso goes on to recount Bruce’s abduction ordeal which was carried out by 20 individuals in the county under the guise of taking him to apologise to the Mombasa Governor.
He was then tortured and sodomised and not brought to the Governor as he had previously believed.
Kebaso then gave the Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja an ultimatum to arrest the Governor to answer to charges of being an accessory to crime and being a conspirator to crime.
“The governor should be investigated and arrested. If it is not done then I am ready to suspend all activities for nationwide demonstration,” Kebaso’s last post on X reads.
Kenyans on social media have already launched their support for Kebaso with #FreeMorara.
