Alfred Keter Abducted

Former Nandi Hills MP Alfred Keter was abducted on Sunday by hooded men in dramatic scenes outside Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Kileleshwa, Nairobi.

In a video widely circulated on social networks in Kenya, four armed men in plain clothes can be seen forcibly removing Keter from his black Land Cruiser and bundling him into a waiting double-cabin van.

His wife and children, who were both in his company, are heard screaming helplessly as they whisked him away.

The dramatic scene, which happened in full glare of the public, came only a few days after President William Ruto reassured that abductions and extrajudicial killings were things of the past and wouldn’t happen under his administration.

Update

Police have admitted that they arrested former Nandi Hills MP Alfred Keter in a dramatic incident captured on the road in Kileleshwa, Nairobi.

He was taken and booked at Kamukunji police cells. It is not clear if he will be produced in court. The team involved in the drama said they staged the dramatic arrest after he allegedly resisted arrest. Police said they are investigating the former MP on some issues.
