The Kenya Police Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has taken over the investigation into the disappearance of businessman Jimmy Mutava, who was last seen being forced into a pickup in Mlolongo, Machakos County. Mutava was reportedly abducted shortly after meeting a senior official, according to recent CCTV footage reviewed by authorities. The DCI's Anti-Abduction Unit has launched a probe into the incident, which has raised concerns about security in the area.
Footage obtained by local media shows armed men forcing Mutava into a vehicle, raising suspicions of a targeted abduction. The DCI has confirmed it is handling the case, though details remain limited. Mutava was last seen on July 27, and his whereabouts remain unknown. The case has drawn attention from local media and community members, who are calling for swift action.
Authorities have not yet disclosed the motive behind the abduction, but the involvement of armed individuals suggests a possible organized crime element. The DCI is reportedly working with local police to track down any leads. The case highlights ongoing security challenges in the region, where similar incidents have been reported in recent months.
The investigation is ongoing, with no official statement yet from the DCI on the progress of the case. (tuko.co.ke)
