A family in Isiolo is pleading with the government to take immediate action to locate and ensure the release of their abducted relatives, who have been missing for three days.
The abductions occurred on Saturday, July 6, when Issa Osman Guyo and his friends were forcibly taken from Isiolo Town.
Abdi Osman Guyo, the brother of Issa Osman Guyo, recounted the harrowing incident:
"Our family members were abducted on Saturday, July 6, in Isiolo Town and bundled into two black Prados and one white Subaru by heavily armed gunmen who are believed to be police officers."
The abductions have left the family in a state of distress, as they desperately seek information on the whereabouts of their loved ones.
Local leader Hassan Kumpa, a former MCA of Cherab Ward, expressed his concern and frustration over the incident.
"Those people have been missing for three days. We do not know where they are. We have not seen them since they were picked up from a local hotel. We do not have any information. It is a sad state of affairs," Kumpa stated.
The lack of information and the mysterious circumstances surrounding the abductions have heightened tensions in the community.
Residents are calling on the authorities to provide clarity and ensure the safe return of the abducted individuals.
The involvement of heavily armed men believed to be police officers has raised serious questions about the motives and legality of the abductions.
As the search for the missing persons continues, the affected families and the Isiolo community at large are urging the government to expedite the investigation and take swift action to resolve the situation.
The hope remains that the abducted individuals will be found safe and that justice will be served.
