The two brothers and an activist who went missing on August 19, 2024, amid anti-government demonstrations in Kitengela, have been found alive in Kiambu County.

The discovery comes as former acting Inspector General Gilbert Misengeli faces a six-month jail term for failing to appear in court to explain their whereabouts.

According to Law Society of Kenya (LSK) President Faith Odhiambo, the brothers, Jamil and Aslay Longton, were found abandoned in Gachie, Kiambu County.

“I am informed that Jamil Longton and his brother Aslam were dumped at the Gachie border of Kiambu and Nairobi by their captors. Every prayer and intervention made a difference. We thank God that they are safe!” she shared on her X handle.

Activist Bob Njagi was also found alive in Tigoni, Kiambu County. His father, Longman Njagi, told Hot 96 FM that his son was safe and sound.

“I was called late at night and informed by officers from Tigoni police station that my son was found alive,” Njagi said.

He added that the activist was picked up from the police station by his brother. “We thank God for the news. We have been down on our knees praying. We are very grateful,” Njagi added.

The news came just hours after newly-appointed Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja asserted that the National Police Service (NPS) was not holding the three.
