High Court Directs Police Chief to Produce Missing Men in Mlolongo Abduction Case

The High Court has issued a significant directive to the Inspector General of Police, Douglas Kanja, in connection with the abduction of two men in Mlolongo, Machakos County. The court has ordered the police chief to produce the two missing men, identified as Boniface Kimani and Elijah Mwangi, by January 17, 2025. 

Justice Chacha Mwita, presiding over the case, emphasized the importance of accountability and adherence to the rule of law. If the men cannot be produced alive, the Inspector General must present their bodies in court. This development comes amid public outcry and accusations against security agencies for alleged enforced disappearances in the country.

This court order highlights growing judicial intervention in addressing cases of forced disappearances and ensuring justice for victims and their families. More updates are expected as the January 17 deadline approaches.
