Law Society of Kenya president Faith Odhiambo now says that  Free Kenya Movement coordinator, Bob Njagi, has been found and is alive.

She said Njagi presented himself at Tigoni police station after he was ostensibly dumped by around the area by his abductors.

"At around 1 am Bob Njagi managed find his way to Tigoni police station and for assistance. He is alive and well," Odhiambo said.

She at the same time revealed that the activist had shared a message to her confirming he is safe.

"The message from Bob and family, 'To family, friends and every Kenyan that has continued to pray for me, I wish to confirm that I am well and with my family. It is now time to quiet the noise, be grateful for life and for everyone to reflect on why Kenya matters," Njagi said, according to the LSK president.

Njagi was among three people who were abducted in Kitengela a month ago.

The other two, Jamil Longton (42) and Aslam Longton (36), were also found in Gachie Friday morning.

"I am informed that Jamil Longton and his brother Aslam were dumped at the Gachie border of Kiambu and Nairobi by their captors. Every prayer and intervention made a difference. We thank God that they are safe!" Odhiambo said in a statement on X.

The trio went missing in Kitengela on Monday, August 19, 2024, after being forcefully abducted by people alleged to be police.

Reports indicated that the brothers went missing a few meters from their home.

At the same time, Njagi was allegedly pulled out of a bus in Mlolongo and bundled into a Subaru by unknown people.

LSK in a case filed for the three to be produced by police believed the three were abducted by security officers.

Inspector General Douglas Kanja on Thursday said they are investigating the claims of abduction after a report was made on the issue.

“You are aware that I have just taken over the office but what I have gotten from our officers is that we don’t have the Kitengela three with us. I know a report was made and we have got an active investigation,” Kanja said at Jogoo House, Nairobi.

DCI boss Mohamed Amin too said they did not have the three men.

“We don’t support any form of abduction and for now we don’t have the three,” he said.
