The National Police Service (NPS) has dismissed claims that it abducted Ndiang’ui Kinyagia, who resurfaced on Wednesday, July 3, and appeared in court after a period of reported disappearance.
In a statement issued Thursday, Police Spokesperson Muchiri Nyaga said Kinyagia had been falsely reported missing, with accusations circulating on social and mainstream media alleging that police were behind his disappearance.
“The Service reiterates its earlier position that Ndiangui Kinyagia was not in police custody at any time,” the statement read.
The NPS confirmed that Kinyagia remains a person of interest in an ongoing investigation and urged him to present himself at the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) headquarters to record a statement.
While condemning what it termed a "dangerous trend," the police warned against individuals allegedly faking abductions and feeding false information to authorities in a bid to incite public outrage and generate misleading narratives.

“These criminal acts undermine the integrity of law enforcement, damage the reputation of the National Police Service, and cause unnecessary public anxiety,” the Service stated.
The NPS further reminded the public that stage-managed abductions and giving false information to the police are criminal offences punishable under the law.
Reaffirming its commitment to the Constitution, the police emphasized their dedication to operational independence, impartiality, and political neutrality in executing their mandate to maintain law and order.
