Activists Boniface Mwangi, Hanifa Adan and former CJ Mutunga present themselves at DCI headquarters

The quartet drove to the investigative branch offices on Monday noon, saying they were seeking answers on why there have been a rising number of abductions since the Finance Bill 20204 protests commenced last week.

Mwangi also sought to know why an abduction attempt was made on him, arguing that he had committed no offence. 

"We were almost abducted on Friday so we said instead of getting abducted in the streets we are going to present ourselves to the police. If we have broken any law take us to court but abduction and torture are illegal in this country," said the activist. 

"What DCI is doing right now is abducting people who are expressing their rights to protest."

On his part, ex-CJ Mutunga said he had appeared to show solidarity, noting that the abductions were in full violation of the law.

"Have you guys read Article 238 of the Constitution? Because if you have, abductions are unconstitutional. The police are supposed to comply with human rights," he said.

While youth groups had gathered outside the DCI headquarters, officers only allowed the four and their legal representatives to enter the gates.

As of Monday morning there was public uproar over the now increasing abductions of Kenyans believed to be playing a significant role in the anti-Financ Bill protests.

With a slight observation, the abductions occur in a similar pattern where a targeted person is suddenly attacked by four or more individuals and bundled into an awaiting car.

The abductees have so far been released after public rage.

However, the whereabouts of Shad Khalif, one of the top mobilizers of the demonstrations, remain unknown.
