Government officials walked away from court empty-handed after failing to bring back missing activist Ndiangui Kinyagia. Police chiefs claimed they never had the blogger locked up anywhere. Judges had demanded cops produce Kinyagia at exactly 11 am Tuesday morning. Officers came back with nothing but excuses and paperwork. The whole mess started when courts ordered Police Chief Douglas Kanja to find the missing man.
Detective Sergeant Samuel Itegi told everyone that Kinyagia was being hunted for his part during recent youth protests. Police teams went looking for the activist at his home but found empty rooms. The building caretaker said Kinyagia had already left with two unknown men earlier that day. Officers decided to break down doors and search through everything without getting proper warrants first. They grabbed computers, phones, travel documents and health papers during their raid.
Cops think Kinyagia runs a social media account that told protesters to attack government buildings. The online posts apparently encouraged young people to take over State House during demonstrations. Detective teams wanted to question him about these dangerous messages spreading across the internet. Police never actually arrested anyone because Kinyagia had already disappeared from his house. Officers signed paperwork with the caretaker showing what they took away.
Defense lawyer Martha Karua blasted police for ignoring court orders completely. She said officers should be doing their jobs properly and finding missing people. Family lawyers accused government workers of openly refusing to follow judicial commands. The courtroom drama continues as officials scramble to explain where the activist might be hiding.
