On Monday, Faith Odhiambo, President of the Law Society of Kenya (LSK), announced the release of Paul Mwangi, also known as Jiji, who was allegedly abducted early in the morning.

Mwangi was discovered along Roysambu, Nairobi County, with several injuries, particularly on his head, believed to have been inflicted by his unidentified abductors.

"Paul Mwangi has been released. He had head injuries and has been treated," Odhiambo stated.

Mwangi was rushed to the hospital for treatment before being taken home. According to doctors, Mwangi's wound was not as deep as initially feared and only required a few bandages.

In a video shared by LSK President Odhiambo, Mwangi was seen with a bandage on his head and his hair partially shaved. He appeared distraught and fearful, likely due to his ordeal. Additionally, Mwangi was unable to speak.

Reports indicate that Mwangi was dragged from his house in Githurai around 5 a.m. and taken to an unknown location before his release.

Mwangi is among several Kenyans recently abducted, allegedly due to their stance on the anti-finance bill protests. In the past two weeks, some Kenyans have been taken by undisclosed men in various situations.

Several prominent influencers were reportedly abducted in the last two weeks, ostensibly due to their opposition to the Finance Bill.

LSK President Faith Odhiambo and human rights activists have condemned these forceful arrests and the use of police officers to intimidate peaceful citizens expressing their views.

Responding to the concerns, President William Ruto, during a presidential roundtable with journalists on Sunday, explained that he would not use the term "abductions" to describe the situation. Instead, he referred to them as arrests.

"If the police summon Linus Kaikai and Linus Kaikai refuses to go to the police, are the police not entitled to come and look for you? When the police come to arrest you after they have summoned you and you didn’t show up, is that an abduction?" he posed.
