DCI cleared as missing blogger turns up

Parliament leader Kimani Ichung'wah claims police investigators have been cleared after missing blogger Ndiangui Kinyagia showed up alive. The politician said many Kenyans refused to believe DCI Director Mohammed Amin when he denied holding the man. Ichung'wah spoke at a women's forum about how people thought the detective chief was lying. He said the same person police were ordered to find walked into court himself. The government official felt sorry that citizens believed cops were hiding the blogger.

Ndiangui vanished on June 21 and his family took legal action against the state. They accused police of kidnapping him and demanded answers from authorities. Justice Chacha Mwita told the DCI leader to come to court and explain where the blogger was. The judge said officers had visited the missing man's home the day he disappeared. Court papers showed detective agents were the last people seen at his house.

The blogger contacted his relatives Tuesday night and told them he was safe. His family lawyer informed the court about the phone call from Ndiangui. Police and detective officers searched his Kinoo home but found nothing. The judge issued protection orders preventing his arrest when he appeared Thursday. Ndiangui told the court he had never been kidnapped at all.
