Court Blocks Arrest Of Ndiangui Kinyagia
Justice Chacha Mwita allowed Ndiangui’s family to spend time with him for medical care and to get details about his 13-day disappearance.

The High Court has barred the police from arresting advocate Ndiangui Kinyagia for the next two weeks. This decision follows the family’s refusal to engage with the media regarding his controversial disappearance.
In court on Thursday, July 3, Justice Chacha Mwita allowed Ndiangui’s family to spend time with him for medical care and to get details about his 13-day disappearance.
As a result, the police have been directed not to detain Ndiangui until his case is mentioned again on July 18 and July 24 at 10.30 am.

The family’s lawyer, Wahome Thuku, earlier announced that Ndiangui had resurfaced after hiding in an undisclosed location out of fear for his safety.
In a Facebook statement on Thursday, July 3, Thuku confirmed that Ndiangui had contacted a family member on Tuesday evening to let them know he was alive and okay.
"I wish to inform Kenyans that Mr Ndiangui, who went missing last week, has contacted the family and that he is well, healthy and safe. Ndiangui contacted a family member on Tuesday evening from an undisclosed location," Thuku stated.
The lawyer revealed that Ndiangui went into hiding out of fear for his life after hearing that DCI officers were pursuing him over unspecified criminal accusations.
However, his court appearance today sparked backlash from some Kenyans, who felt he was “playing with their emotions,” since many believed he had been abducted by suspected DCI officers.
Rumours spread that Ndiangui may have staged his disappearance, a narrative his lawyer Thuku tried to dismiss by pointing to reports that Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) officers had been spotted at Ndiangui’s home before he went missing.
"The police were seen breaking into Ndiangui's house. This is something that we reported, and this was confirmed by the police through an affidavit they presented in court. So, anyone alleging the issue of self-abduction, then you must tell us whether DCI breaking into the house was part of the self-abduction," Thuku stated.
