Missing activist Mwabili Mwagodi, who was abducted in Tanzania, was Sunday found alive near the Kenya-Tanzania border.
He was handed over to the Kenyan authorities at the border.
Mwabili confirmed that three Kenyan police officers were involved in an exchange with Tanzanian authorities at the Lunga Lunga border.
The officers then dumped him at Kinondo area near Diani in Kwale county.
“They confiscated my three phones, one laptop, belt, passport, yellow fever vaccination book and Tanzanian work permit,” Mwabili said.
Witnesses said police officers had tried to detain the outspoken activist at the Diani Police Station after his release, but human rights activists accompanying him challenged the move.
“I was abducted, harassed and tortured mentally for four days. Do you want to abduct me again?
” Mwabili said during a confrontation with the police.
He was instead taken to a Mombasa hospital for medical attention and will reunite with his family in Nairobi afterward.
His disappearance had raised concerns as he was at the frontline in voicing opposition to church fundraising campaigns.
CEO of Vocal Africa which is a human rights organisation Hussein Khalid shared the news in a post on X, confirming that he had been found.
Khalid said Mwabili was dropped in a bush in Kinondo, Kwale county around 3am where he walked for about 3 kilometers to Diani.
