Koimburi Abducted Himself: Police Uncover Shocking Self-Kidnap Plot

In a dramatic turn of events that has gripped the nation, Juja MP George Koimburi now stands accused of orchestrating his abduction in a bizarre ploy that authorities say wasted resources and stirred national panic.

On May 28, Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja, alongside DCI boss Amin Mohammed, told the public that investigations had laid bare how Koimburi abducted himself.

The unraveling of this deception has led to the arrest of three individuals, including the Juja Constituency Development Fund (CDF) chairperson, who reportedly helped carry out the staged kidnapping. Here’s how it all unfolded.

Juja MP Koimburi Abducted Himself in a Choreographed Plot Involving Close Associates

Police say Koimburi’s fake abduction was executed with military-like precision. The scheme began on May 25, after he attended a church service. According to DCI boss Amin Mohammed, Koimburi had mapped out every step of the drama—including the vehicle, route, and accomplices involved.

A silver Subaru Forester, which had initially been claimed to belong to the kidnappers, was actually borrowed by the CDF chairperson from another suspect. That suspect later revealed that the chair had told him the car was needed to transport extra security personnel for the MP at the church event.

In reality, the car was part of the abduction narrative. After the church service, two men posing as abductors forced Koimburi into the vehicle. They then drove him through Kabogo Road to Jacaranda Coffee Research area, where a Honda CRV was waiting. This car, owned by the CDF chair, was used to complete the act.

Investigators were able to track the entire route. They even identified the hotel and room number where the MP slept that night—evidence that contradicted earlier reports of him being held by unknown kidnappers.

Inside the Coordinated Kidnap Scene

The plot thickens with testimony from the arrested suspects. One of them said that earlier that day, he had been asked to meet at the CDF chair’s home. There, he encountered three other men, including the CDF chair, who outlined the plan. They drove together to the Full Gospel Church to map out the escape route.

Later, he was instructed to drive his own car to the church with two others. Once Koimburi stepped out of the church, the two men dragged him into the Subaru Forester. From there, they proceeded to the Jacaranda stopover where the fake handoff occurred.

This staged handoff was crucial. It gave the illusion of Koimburi being moved from one group of captors to another, a common tactic in real abduction cases. But unlike real cases, this one had a script and rehearsed players.

Police Say MP Lied to the Nation

Police leadership has strongly condemned Koimburi’s actions. Inspector General Kanja called it a reckless abuse of public trust. DCI boss Amin Mohammed didn’t mince words either.

“It is quite inconceivable for an honourable Member of Parliament to go to that extent of staging his own abduction,” Amin said. “He caused fear across the country and diverted valuable resources that could have been used to fight real crimes.”

Police say the MP never went missing. From the moment he left the church to the hotel he slept in, every movement was accounted for. Surveillance footage, phone tracking, and witness statements all pointed to a well-planned lie.

Authorities are now looking into whether Koimburi had a political or personal motive behind the fake kidnapping. What’s clear is that the case is no longer just about a missing lawmaker—it’s now about a public servant who, police say, lied to an entire country.

Wrapping Up

The phrase ‘Koimburi abducted himself’ has gone from an online whisper to a national outcry. In a country where many real kidnappings go unresolved, this stunt has drawn widespread criticism.

If found guilty, the MP could face serious charges, including conspiracy and misuse of public resources. As more details come to light, one thing is certain: this story is far from over.
