The fight for the release of two abducted Kenyan activists, Bob Njagi and Nicholas Oyoo, is escalating dramatically.

In a powerful act of defiance, the Kenya Human Rights Commission (KHRC) announced late Saturday night that it plans to storm the Ugandan Embassy in Nairobi on Tuesday, October 28, 2025.

On the same day, they vow to paralyse operations at the critical Malaba and Busia border points, sending a clear message across the East African region.

The planned protests follow weeks of escalating outrage over the disappearance of Njagi and Oyoo, who were taken by armed operatives in Kampala earlier this month.

“We Answer with Thunder”

KHRC’s statement was a blistering condemnation of the political relationship between Kenya and Uganda, accusing the leaders of trading lives for power.

”How long will we let William Ruto and Yoweri Museveni trade our lives for power? They abduct our comrades and think fear will silence us. On October 28, we answer with thunder. Streets packed. Borders shut. Embassy surrounded. They must free Bob Njagi and Nicholas Oyoo,” the KHRC declared.

Njagi and Oyoo were last seen on Wednesday, October 1, 2025. They were reportedly snatched by armed operatives at a petrol station in Kireka, Kampala, shortly after attending a political event organized by Uganda’s opposition firebrand, Robert Kyagulanyi, alias Bobi Wine.

The outrage is fuelled by the official line from the Ugandan military. In a sworn statement filed in the High Court of Uganda (Civil Division), Colonel Silas Kamanda, Director at the Joint Staff Legal Services of the UPDF, officially denied having any record of detaining the two Kenyans.
