Nairobi Woman Horrified After Watching Abduction Unfold In Broad Daylight [VIDEO]

A Nairobi woman took to social media platform X on Tuesday, August 6 to narrate a swift turn of events having witnessed an alleged abduction taking place at the populous residence of Kahawa West.

Rosalyn, a Marketing Strategist and Consultant revealed that a man she knew was taken away by armed individuals believed to be plain-clothes police officers.

“I have just witnessed the Subaru boys abducting a guy I know!!! Imagine this one ameweka glock tak tak karibu na mimi karibu nianguke kifafa (he cocked his gun next to me, I almost fainted),” she stated.

To back up her sentiments, she shared a 16-second clip showing how the abduction unfolded in full view of a crowd of people.

Here is the video:

The clip showed commotion around a Subaru Forester as a person wearing a reflector jacket is seen bundling the abductee into the vehicle.

With the cocking of a pistol being clearly heard, as per Rosalyn’s sentiments, an officer in plain clothes is seen ghosting past the camera in close range towards the back of the Subaru as it drove off.

With an individual heard stating “This is called an abduction…don’t kill him”, the vehicle sped away, leaving behind a cap much to the view of onlookers along the road as well as those onboard a matatu.

The identity of the abductee at the time of publishing is yet to be established. This alleged abduction comes as several young Kenyans have been abducted by unknown individuals and taken to unknown locations.

The government has been accused of failing to curtail the abductions, which began amidst the anti-Finance Bill protests and which have targeted several Kenyans prominent on social media platforms.

The Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR) on Tuesday, July 16 noted that 59 people were abducted by authorities with 682 others being arrested, statistics that spanned four weeks of demonstrations against the Finance Bill 2024, which began on Tuesday, June 18.

Before he was dismissed on July 11, Interior Cabinet Secretary (CS) nominee Kithure Kindiki on Tuesday, July 9 vowed to take action against individuals reported to be responsible for the wave of abductions during the anti-government protests.

“All persons within the territory of Kenya are protected from unlawful or arbitrary arrests, abductions, enforced disappearances or any other illegal method of confining suspected criminals for purposes of investigations for prosecution or for whatever purpose whatsoever,” Kindiki stated in part.

“The Government reiterates its duty to respect and ensure the protection of all constitutionally guaranteed rights and will not condone any violation whether perpetuated by security personnel or by public or private persons.”
