Majengo, Embu – In a dramatic turn of events, Billy Mwangi has been found alive after over two weeks in captivity, reuniting with his family in Majengo, Embu County. Mwangi was among four individuals – Peter Muteti, Bernard Kavuli, and Kibet Bull – who mysteriously disappeared more than 15 days ago under circumstances that sparked nationwide concern and speculation.
The abductions were reportedly linked to the circulation of AI-generated images that portrayed President William Ruto in a negative light. Despite mounting pressure from families and the public, both the police and the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) repeatedly denied involvement in the disappearances, leaving many unanswered questions.
A Nation on Edge
Mwangi’s return has brought a sense of relief to his family and the larger Majengo community, but it also raises pressing questions about the motive behind the abductions and the identity of those responsible. His release comes just weeks after President Ruto publicly vowed to end abductions and extrajudicial killings, a persistent issue that has marred Kenya’s security landscape for years.
While details of Mwangi’s captivity remain scarce, sources close to his family have confirmed that he is physically stable but emotionally shaken by the ordeal. He has been reunited with his loved ones, who expressed gratitude for his safe return.
Peter Muteti Also Released
In a related development, Peter Muteti, another victim of the mysterious abductions, was released early this morning. His family confirmed his safe return but noted that Muteti is deeply traumatized and unable to speak about his experience or offer any details about his captors.
Muteti was reportedly abducted on December 21st from his residence outside Nairobi. His family is currently focused on supporting his recovery and ensuring he receives the necessary medical and psychological care.
Unanswered Questions Linger
While Mwangi and Muteti are now safe, the fate of the other two abductees, Bernard Kavuli and Kibet Bull, remains unknown. Families of the missing individuals continue to appeal to authorities for transparency and swift action in locating their loved ones.
The mysterious circumstances surrounding these abductions have left many Kenyans uneasy, with calls for accountability growing louder across social media platforms. Civil society groups and human rights activists are also demanding a full investigation into the matter to prevent future occurrences.
Government Under Pressure
President William Ruto’s administration now faces increased pressure to address the growing concerns about forced disappearances. The President had previously pledged a zero-tolerance policy on abductions, and these recent developments are likely to test his commitment to delivering justice.
Kenyans are closely watching how the government and investigative agencies will handle the remaining cases and whether those responsible for these abductions will be brought to justice.
Community Reactions
In Majengo, Embu, there is a collective sigh of relief following Mwangi’s return, but the community remains cautious, knowing that the ordeal is far from over until all abductees are safely returned home.
The families of the victims are calling for support and prayers as they navigate this difficult period.
For now, the nation waits for answers and hopes that the remaining victims will soon be reunited with their families.
