Human rights activist Boniface Mulinge Muteti was found alive in Mlolongo on Friday, September 25, after days of disappearance linked to protests in Nairobi. The activist had reportedly gone missing following demonstrations over the detention of Ugandan opposition leader Kizza Besigye. Muteti was discovered in the early hours of the day, according to a press release issued by Vocal Africa CEO Hussein Khalid.
Muteti was later found injured in the Lukenya area and taken to a hospital in Mlolongo for treatment. The circumstances of his abduction remain unclear, though authorities are investigating the incident. The protests in Nairobi were part of ongoing tensions surrounding the legal status of Besigye, who has been in custody for several months.
Local officials have confirmed that Muteti is currently receiving medical care. No official statement has been released regarding the abductors or the full details of his condition. The case has drawn attention from human rights organizations, highlighting concerns about the safety of activists in the region.
The discovery has brought temporary relief but raises further questions about the security of political dissent in Kenya.
