Raphael Tuju missing after suspected abduction
Former Cabinet Secretary Raphael Tuju has been reported missing under unclear circumstances in Nairobi’s Karen area, raising concern among his family and security agencies.
According to relatives, Tuju was last seen on Saturday afternoon within the Karen neighbourhood before his sudden disappearance. His phone has since been switched off, making it difficult for family members and associates to reach him.
The family confirmed that a missing person report was filed at Karen Police Station, prompting police to begin investigations into the incident.
Sources close to the family indicated that his vehicle was later found abandoned along Miotoni Lane, heightening fears over his safety and raising suspicion of possible foul play.
Relatives further claim that Tuju had earlier expressed concerns about his security, alleging that he had been followed by an unidentified vehicle prior to his disappearance. They now suspect the incident could be linked to those fears, though this has not been officially confirmed.
The family is expected to address the media at Entim Sidai, where they are likely to provide further details and appeal for public assistance.
Police have acknowledged receiving the report and say investigations are ongoing, but have not yet confirmed whether the case is being treated as an abduction as verification continues.
The incident has drawn widespread attention due to Tuju’s public profile and ongoing legal disputes, with pressure mounting on authorities to establish the facts and trace his whereabouts.
