Busia Senator and aspiring 2027 presidential candidate Okiya Omtatah is planning to take legal action against the state over mysterious abduction and subsequent deaths of four young men in Mlolongo.
The case is expected to challenge the state’s handling of the disappearances, with demands for accountability from top security officials.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter) late on Thursday night, Omtatah expressed his sorrow over the deaths, calling for immediate accountability from the security agencies.
“It is with profound sadness and heartache that I learnt of the death of Justus Musyimi and Martin Mwau, two of the Mlolongo 4 abducted on Dec 17, 2024. This evening, I met Duncan Kyalo, brother to the late Justus Musyimi, to condole with the family and stand with them through this difficult time. I stand with Kenyans to demand justice for the innocent youth who have fallen victim to these senseless killings which have followed abductions,” Omtatah wrote.
His post further called on top security officials, including those heading the National Police Service and the National Intelligence Service, to be held accountable for what he termed as heinous crimes against humanity.
“The relevant authorities, including those in charge of the National Police Service and the National Intelligence Service, must be put to task to give answers for these deplorable actions or otherwise RESIGN from public office,” the Busia senator said.
“We shall be at Milimani Law Courts to continue pushing for answers from the State for these heinous crimes against humanity. Let us stand together against these abductions and murders. #EndAbductionsKE,” Omtatah’s statement continued.
