Digital cartoonist Gideon Kibet, alias Kibet Bull was Monday released after his abduction in Nairobi.
He was freed in Luanda, Vihiga County, his family said.
Kibet was known for his viral caricatured silhouettes of President William Ruto.
Kibet was abducted by suspected security officials on December 24, 2024, shortly after meeting Busia Senator Okiya Omtatah at his office in Nairobi.
His family confirmed his safe return on Monday, noting that he has since returned to Nakuru.
Kibet announced his release via social media platform X, revealing that he was dumped in the Luanda area of Vihiga County around 3-4 a.m. on Monday.
This increased to five, the number of those so far released.
The families of Billy Mwangi, Peter Muteti, Bernard Kavuli and Rony Kiplangat said their kin had reached out to them.
Officials said Rony was found in Machakos County, and Bernard Kavuli, who was abducted in Ngong found in Maili Saba, Kitale.
Peter Muteti was found in Nairobi CBD and witnesses said he was disoriented and now recovering from home. Steve Mbisi, who has also been reported missing, is yet to be found.
Billy had walked to his Majengo home in Embu after being abandoned in Nyeri, almost 60 kilometers away.
It is believed some state agents were behind the abduction incidents.
This came as human rights activists staged a protest on Monday January 6 to denounce abduction and forced disappearance.
Police were deployed to various places to address the protests.
Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja had been ordered to appear in court on January 8 to explain the whereabouts of the individuals.
The Director of Public Prosecutions Mulele Ingonga directed the police to inform him on status or investigations into claims of abductions and forced disappearances by January 1, 2025.
