IG Kanja ordered to produce blogger Ndiangui Kinyagia in court

The IG is expected to produce Kinyagia in court without fail or explain why he cannot be found.

Presiding over the matter, Justice Chacha Mwita stated; "This is an application of habeas corpus touching on a Kenyan who is a human being... I have taken into account the fact that the second applicant has not been found for 10 days and that the life of a citizen is in danger."

The court directed that the application be served on the respondents by close of business Monday, with responses due within seven days.

In a decisive move, Justice Mwita ordered the IG to either produce Kinyagia in court or provide a satisfactory explanation by Tuesday 11:00 a.m. during an in-person mention of the matter.

The application was filed after Kinyagia’s whereabouts remained unknown for over a week, raising alarm over possible enforced disappearance.
