Kenyan MP's Lawyer Accuses Police of Unfair Confiscation Amidst Abduction Claims

Kenyan MP's Lawyer Accuses DCI, Police Chief of Unfair Confiscation Nairobi, Kenya – Njiru Ndegwa, lawyer for Member of Parliament John Mburu Koimburi, has leveled serious accusations against the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), Inspector General of Police Japhet Koome, and the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP). Ndegwa alleges that the authorities unjustly confiscated Koimburi's vehicle following claims of a self-abduction. The event occurred in Kenya, with the exact location not specified in the video. "Why did you confiscate our client's motor vehicle on Friday? Why are you still holding it at the DCI headquarters?" Ndegwa demanded in a brief interview shown in the video. He further questioned the connection between the vehicle and the abduction claims, suggesting it was a tactic to distract from other aspects of the case. He also alleges the driver was tortured. The accusations raise serious concerns about the fairness of the investigation and the potential for abuse of power. The DCI, IG Kanja, and ODPP have yet to issue a public response to the lawyer's claims. The incident highlights ongoing tensions within the Kenyan political landscape and the scrutiny faced by law enforcement agencies.
