Father Pleads for Safe Return of Abducted Son

Billy Mwangi's father, Gerald Karicha, cried in a Nairobi court on Tuesday. He begged the court to help find his missing son.

Karicha told the court what happened when his son was taken. Four men jumped out of a truck. They grabbed his son and threw him inside.

His son asked who they were and where they were taking him. They said, "You will know later." Then his phone turned off, and they took it with them.

Karicha said he had no idea where his son was now. He read the court order to bring his son to court that day. He came from Embu, hoping to see him, but he looked around the courtroom and could not find him.

Karicha's wife has collapsed many times from the pain. He did not bring her because it would be too much to handle. They have taken medicine for their blood pressure.

Billy Mwangi was taken just over a week ago. His parents are very sorry for the way he showed the President in a bad way on social media. They want the government to let him go if they have him. They promise to punish him and teach him the right way.

Two other people, Bernard Kavuli and Peter Matuti, were also taken. Like Mwangi, almost a week later, no one knows where they are.
