Dancan Kyalo, the brother to Justus Mutumwa, one of the Mlolongo abductees who was found dead on January 30, narrated events that followed his public demand to have his brother released.
In a statement through the Kenya Human Rights Commission (KHRC) on Sunday, February 2, Kyalo revealed that at the time of Mutumwa's disappearance, he reported the incident to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) offices in Athi River and was issued an occurrence number.
Determined to seek justice, Kyalo publicly demanded Mutumwa's release. However, after this, he revealed that he began receiving numerous threatening calls warning him to stop pursuing the case.
"The caller warned me that I would also be forcefully disappeared. I soon realized I was being followed—both on foot and by vehicles, often at night—by individuals I strongly suspected were security officers," Kyalo stated in his account.

He added that the surveillance would intensify when Inspector-General of Police Douglas Kanja and Director of Criminal Investigations Mohamed Amin were summoned to appear in court to account for Mutumwa's whereabouts.
"Fearing for my safety, I had no choice but to relocate and live in constant fear of further retaliation," Kyalo added, further expressing his devastation at the tragic end of his brother's search.
Shortly after Kanja and Amin's appearance in court, at which they denied holding the Mlolongo four, Mutumwa's family reported discovering his body at Nairobi Funeral Home (formerly City Mortuary). This development raised concerns from the Law Society of Kenya (LSK), with its president, Faith Odhiambo, demanding that Kanja and Amin explain who was responsible for the abductions and killings of Kenyans.
According to Kyalo, Mutumwa's forehead had deep cuts, his eyes had been pierced, and his lips were cut. His wrists bore visible marks, indicating they had been tightly bound.
Kyalo joined victims and survivors of enforced disappearances and extrajudicial killings who issued several demands to the International Criminal Court (ICC) after being released from captivity, claiming to have been repeatedly threatened and intimidated into silence, compelling them against speaking about their experiences.
In their list of demands, KHRC called for a thorough investigation into the cases of abduction victims and survivors, including Bob Njagi, Jamil Longton, Aslam Longton, Justus Mulwa, Martin Mwau, Steve Mbisi, and Kalami Mwema.
Alongside the survivors, KHRC also demanded that Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja and Director of Criminal Investigations Mohamed Amin be held personally accountable for crimes committed under their leadership.
Their third demand stated, "We call on the International Criminal Court to intervene because the issue of human rights violations is no longer a domestic issue."
Lastly, the victims emphasized that "Kenya must ratify and domesticate the international covenant to protect all persons from enforced disappearances".
