Two Kenyan activists, Bob Njagi and Nicholas Oyoo are missing after they were on Wednesday afternoon allegedly abducted by four armed men believed to be security officials.
The two, who had joined National Unity Platform Presidential candidate Bobi Wine’s campaign trail on Tuesday, were reportedly forced into a vehicle and their phones switched off.
Bobi Wine condemned the incident.
“We strongly condemn the abduction by armed operatives, of Kenyan activists and human rights defenders Bob Nyagi and Nicholas Ayoo.
The two were picked up mafia-style this afternoon from a petrol station in Kireka and driven off to an unknown destination!”
“We condemn the continuing lawlessness by the rogue regime and demand that these brothers are released unconditionally!
The criminal regime apparently abducted them simply for associating with me and expressing solidarity with our cause!” he said in a post on social media.
A friend who escaped the ordeal claims the incident is linked to their support for Bobi Wine.
Videos recorded during Bobi Wine’s campaign in Kamuli District, Eastern Uganda on Tuesday clearly capture Free Kenya Movement Chairman Bob Njagi on stage alongside Uganda’s opposition leader Bobi Wine who is seeking to unseat President Yoweri Museveni.
In other clips, Njagi is seen listening keenly to Bobi Wine, and at times joining his entourage as they traversed rural areas.
