Kenyan blogger and activist Ndiangui Kinyagia, who had been missing for 13 days since June 21, 2025, resurfaced in court on July 3, 2025. The disappearance sparked national concern and allegations of police involvement amid ongoing Gen-Z protests. The High Court, presided over by Justice Chacha Mwita, had repeatedly ordered the Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja and the Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI) Mohammed Amin to produce Kinyagia or explain his whereabouts. The police denied holding him in custody, stating that Kinyagia was a person of interest in an active investigation and urged him to surrender. DCI officers had raided his Kinoo residence but did not find him. Upon reappearance, Kinyagia told the court he was not abducted but went into hiding out of fear of arrest. His family lawyer, Wahome Thuku, confirmed he was safe and healthy. The High Court barred the police from arresting or detaining Kinyagia pending further proceedings and ordered DCI boss Mohammed Amin to appear in court to explain the circumstances of the disappearance. Following his court appearance, Kinyagia was directed to present himself at DCI headquarters to record a statement. The case has drawn mixed reactions regarding whether Kinyagia’s disappearance was a self-imposed hiding or an abduction, with the court emphasizing the police’s duty of care to citizens.
