A couple that mysteriously went missing at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) on Friday, September 24, has been found.
The pair, Stella Waithera and Ahmed Golabi, were in the custody of the Anti-Terror Police Unit (ATPU) before they were released on Thursday, September 30.
According to Daily Nation, the couple was let go and boarded a plane for a stopover at Turkey before they embarked to Iran.
"We were very worried but we have understood that police were suspicious of my daughter's connection to her husband, especially because they travel so much across the world while conducting their businesses," a family member stated.
Speaking from Iran, Waithera confirmed that the ATPU officers were not hostile to them. She added that the process had to take sometime but they corporated with the authorities.
"The police wanted to do some background checks on my husband and I, since he is a Muslim and I am a Christian. They wanted to establish our relationship and whether it is genuine since so many girls are being married to Muslim men for the sole purpose of radicalisation."
The couple had toured the Country with an aim of visiting their ailing parents.
On the day they were to return to Iran, Waithera and Golabi were dropped off at the airport at around 1am for their flight scheduled to take off at 4am.
However, the Turkish airlines and Iranian Embassy confirmed that they never boarded the plane, something that worried their family members.
Through their lawyer Stephen Kangahi, the family had moved to court seeking habeas corpus orders (compelling the government to produce them).
