The Law Society of Kenya (LSK) has reported that at around 1 am Friday, activist Bob Njagi was dumped by his abductors and found his way to Tigoni police station where he was assisted to locate his kin.
“He is alive and well,” read a statement from Njagi’s 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,” said a resilient Njagi.
According to LSK President Faith Odhiambo, Bob Njagi was freed by his captors, he was dumped around 3am in Thogoto area, earlier on, Jamil Longton and his brother Aslam Longton were also found after they were dumped at Gachie by their captors.
“I am informed that Jamil Longton and his brother Aslam Longton were dumped at Gachie border of Kiambu and Nairobi by their captors. Every prayer and intervention made a difference. We thank God that they are safe,” said the LSK President.
This comes after DCI Boss Mohammed Amin on Thursday denied that the National Police Service (NPS) is holding the three victims of enforced disappearance in Kitengela, an incident that occurred in August.
Kenyans led by LSK have been piling pressure on the government to release the three as the body highly suspected that police were involved in the abduction.

On Thursday the newly appointed Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja stated that police are not detaining the three people, however the turn of events have proved Kenyans doubts.
The fight for justice for the three led to the conviction of the Acting Inspector General of police Gilbert Masengeli for up to 6 months in jail for ignoring court orders for at least seven times.
Masengeli is currently battling the sentence in court.
