Questions abound over the true identity of a 51-year-old businessman whose alleged abduction from Nairobi and subsequent deportation to South Sudan has taken a new twist, with revelations that he holds both Kenyan and South Sudanese nationality.
The mysterious case of Athorbey Al-Gaddhaffy-Dit has left human rights groups and security agencies scratching their heads after it emerged that the man at the centre of the storm may not be the Kenyan citizen he claims to be, according to documents seen by this publication.
Amnesty International Kenya raised the alarm last week over what it termed the grave abduction of the man, who was reportedly seized from his Nairobi residence and transported to Juba where he is being held at a military detention facility.
"We have received credible information that Athorbey Al-Gaddhaffy-Dit (Gaddafi Athorbey), abducted in Nairobi on 10 June 2026, was unlawfully deported to South Sudan and is currently being held at a military detention facility in Juba," Amnesty said in a statement.
