"One Mr Aleng Peter Gimwani, Service. No 234336 from the Flying Squad and five officers picked Dr David Ndii a few minutes ago from Leopard Beach Hotel in Kwale.
"Alenga told Ndii's wife that they are taking him to Diani Police Station but Ndii is not at Diani," stated Mr Onyango.

On Friday, NASA announced a list of seven people who will facilitate secession and coordinate the People's Assembly.
Speaking at Okoa Kenya offices, former Kakamega Senator Bonny Khalwale stated that the coalition had set up an organizing committee whose duties will be to facilitate and guide the People's Assembly.
“We have put a team in place that will be tasked with guiding, facilitating and coordinating activities of the People’s Assembly at the county level,” Dr Khalwale stated.
The former Kakamega Senator named Dr Ndii, Judy Sijeni, Hamid Kibwana, Mutaha Kangu, Dr Oduor Ongen, Koitalet Ole Kina and Peter Mathuki.
