Azimio Issues Demands Over Maina Njenga’s Abduction

The Azimio Coalition on Sunday called for the immediate release of former Mungiki Leader Maina Njenga who was allegedly abducted last night.

“The information we have suggests that the abductors did not identify themselves, nor did they state that he was under arrest,” the statement read in part.

“All indications point to this being an operation carried out by rogue police.”

Reading mischief in the arrest, Azimio remarked that an ongoing case where Njenga was released on bond could have led to the abduction.

“Kenyans need to understand that Maina is scheduled to appear in court tomorrow for a pre-trial, and this arrest is clearly an attempt to interfere with that scheduled pre-trial,” Azimio stated. 

Maina was released on a Ksh200,000 by Makadara Law Courts on July 25, after he was charged with planning anti-government protests.
