Former Cabinet Secretary Raphael Tuju has been reported missing, with his family confirming that they have not been able to reach him since Saturday night. The incident has raised concern among relatives and authorities, coming after his sudden disappearance under unclear circumstances in Nairobi.
According to the family, Tuju was last seen on Saturday evening before his mobile phones were switched off later that night. Since then, all attempts to contact him through his known phone numbers have been unsuccessful, heightening anxiety over his safety and whereabouts.
The situation intensified after his vehicle was discovered abandoned along Miotoni Lane in the Karen area of Nairobi. The location of the car, in an upscale residential neighborhood, has added urgency to efforts to establish what may have transpired before his disappearance.
Family members reported the matter to Karen Police Station after realizing he could not be reached and tracing his last known movements. The missing person report prompted police to initiate investigations into the incident and begin efforts to locate him.
Police officers have since visited the scene where the vehicle was found as part of preliminary investigations. Detectives are working to gather evidence, including establishing timelines and identifying any individuals who may have had contact with him prior to his disappearance.
Authorities have not released detailed information regarding the circumstances surrounding the case. No suspects have been identified, and no arrests have been made, with officials maintaining that investigations are still at an early stage.
The family has appealed to the public and relevant authorities for any information that could assist in tracing Tuju’s whereabouts. They have urged anyone who may have seen him or has knowledge of his movements to come forward.
The disappearance has attracted attention due to Tuju’s public profile and previous service in government. However, officials have cautioned against speculation as investigations continue.
Police are expected to review available surveillance footage and conduct interviews with persons of interest in a bid to piece together events leading up to his disappearance. These efforts are aimed at establishing whether foul play was involved.
The case remains under active investigation, with authorities and family members continuing the search for answers and hoping for his safe location.
