Police are investigating the disappearance of activist Davis Lichuma after five other protesters vanished during recent demonstrations and resurfaced with torture injuries.
The five, Frederick Odhiambo Ojiro, Michael Ngige, Muteti Mulinge, Collins Ochieng and Elijah Alam, were found dumped in various locations across Nairobi and are receiving treatment at Nairobi Women's Hospital for injuries sustained from alleged beatings while in police custody.
In a statement on Sunday, June 28, National Police Service (NPS) spokesperson Muchiri Nyaga noted the service had observed allegations of enforced disappearances and torture circulating in mainstream and social media, and urged anyone with information to report to the nearest police station.
