Embakasi East Member of Parliament Babu Owino has raised alarm over the alleged abduction of his brother-in-law, claiming he was picked up by officers believed to be from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI).
In an emotional video shared on his X account, the outspoken legislator said his brother-in-law contacted him at around 4PM, informing him that six DCI officers had arrested him and were taking him to the Nairobi Area Police Headquarters.
According to Babu, his relative had earlier confided in him about receiving threats from Interior Principal Secretary Raymond Omolo.
The MP now believes the alleged arrest may be linked to those threats.
“I am here at the police station and I haven’t found him,” Babu said in a video recorded outside the Nairobi Area Police Headquarters after he went there to inquire about his brother-in-law’s whereabouts.
He further disclosed that his brother-in-law’s phone had been switched off, raising further concern about his safety and location.
Babu urged authorities to produce his brother-in-law in court if he had committed any offence, insisting that due process must be followed.
“If he has done anything wrong, let him be presented before a court of law,” he stated.
Despite the incident, the MP declared that the much-anticipated Linda Mwananchi rally scheduled to take place in Kakamega will proceed as planned, terming the alleged abduction as an intimidation tactic aimed at derailing the event.
