Wiper raises alarm after Nominated Makueni MCA reportedly abucted by police

The Makueni County Makindu Ward MCA went missing on Saturday morning after he was allegedly kidnapped by unknown assailants and forced into a car headed towards Mombasa from Makindu.

In a Monday statement, the Wiper Democratic Party claimed that the MCA was kidnapped by unidentified police officers.

“The Wiper Democratic Movement (WDM) Party unequivocally condemns the abduction of Hon. Wambua, as a gross violation of human rights and equivalent to arbitrary arrests and enforced disappearance as prohibited under Article 29 of the Constitution of Kenya, 2010, “ stated the party.

“We demand that Hon. Wambua be released immediately and returned to his family in Makindu, Makueni County. We also demand that the government immediately end these illegal actions and release all others who have been arbitrarily arrested.

This follows a series of abductions, primarily targeting outspoken opponents of the 2024 finance bill and the government.
