Jimi Wanjigi Promises Confrontation with President Ruto Over Missing Allies

Businessman Jimi Wanjigi has issued a stern warning to President William Ruto over the alleged abductions and disappearances of his associates. At a press conference on September 3, Wanjigi accused the government of being involved in recent kidnappings, including those of his close associates, and pledged to seek justice.

Wanjigi, who was recently arrested during anti-government protests, voiced his frustration and worry over the safety of those who visited him after his detention. Among the missing are Bob Njage and the Longman Twins, reportedly abducted by police three weeks ago, with no trace of them since.

“We stand in solidarity with the families searching for their loved ones who have been abducted and disappeared. I am deeply troubled by this situation, especially after Bob Njage and the Longman Twins came to see me in Kamukunji. They were taken by the police, and there has been no trace of them for three weeks,” Wanjigi said.

He criticized President Ruto, accusing him of failing to uphold the constitution and allowing the country to stray from its democratic values. “William Ruto, I am coming for you,” Wanjigi declared. “I am coming for you in the political arena, in the legal arena, and I am coming for you with the constitution of Kenya. Know it today and every day that you pretend you are the president of this state.”

Joshua Okayo, a student leader from the Kenya School of Law, also shared his ordeal of being abducted on June 26 and released two days later. “I stand with the families and friends of those who are missing,” Okayo said. “Had it not been for public pressure, I might have been found dead. I urge Kenyans to continue advocating for the release of these individuals.”
