Three armed men abducted Kenyan tech and finance expert John Frank Githiaka on Monday evening at Beast Athletic offices on Baringo Road in Kahawa Sukari.
His involvement in the #RejectFinanceBill2024 movement is believed to be the reason behind the incident, as the government’s crackdown on social media dissenters intensifies.
Police have this evening arrested more than 50 Kiambu National Polytechnic students. Most of the students who have spoken to me are requesting assistance from LSK.
Since last week, cabinet secretaries have been flying their flags on their cars in urban areas out of fear of protester attacks. The fear is real.
There are already reports of extremely tight security surrounding parliament and the State House as anti-riot police get ready to prevent breaches.
The list of those abducted thus far is as follows:
1. Oguda was abducted.
2. Osama was abducted.
3. Drey abducted
4. TemperCR7 was abducted.
5. Harriet was abducted.
6. Shad abducted
7. Franje was abducted.
8. Worldsmith abducted
On social media, netizens reacted to the abductions, saying, “
The abductions will not stop us; they will not stop the revolt! We are many, and we are fearless! Arrest 1 million of us if you must!! Viva!!!! You are scared, and we see right through it that the that the time is up!
The people making abductions live in this ramshackle, while the guys they are defending are buying furniture for Sh1 billion and renovating their houses for Sh600 million. We need 1 million of us to occupy the Nairobi CBD. They will not believe it!
President @WilliamsRuto said he will talk to Gen Z’s. Interior CS @KindikiKithure said they are free to protest and gave guidelines. So who is abducting Kenyans in the dead of the night? @NPSOfficial_KE is mute on the abductions. This is not it guys.
