Kenyan blogger and activist Ndiangui Kinyagia went missing on June 21, 2025, amid Gen-Z protests, sparking widespread concern and allegations of police involvement. The High Court, led by Justice Chacha Mwita, ordered Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja and Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) Director Mohammed Amin to produce Kinyagia in court or explain his whereabouts. The police denied holding Kinyagia, with DCI boss Amin stating he was a person of interest in an ongoing investigation and urging him to surrender. Despite raids on Kinyagia's Kinoo residence and seizure of computers, authorities failed to locate him. After 13 days, Kinyagia resurfaced in court, accompanied by his lawyers, asserting he was never abducted but had gone into hiding out of fear of arrest. The High Court barred the police from arresting or detaining him pending the hearing of his disappearance case. Following his appearance, police directed Kinyagia to present himself at DCI headquarters for questioning. His family lawyer, Wahome Thuku, confirmed Kinyagia's safety and said the family knew his whereabouts during the disappearance. The case has drawn national attention, with calls for justice and safety guarantees for activists.
