Friday, December 27, 2024 - Presidential aspirant Okiya Omtatah has narrated the last moments of cartoonist Kibet Bull who was abducted on December 24 after visiting his offices.
Speaking during a press
conference, Omtatah confirmed that Kibet had visited his offices between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. on Tuesday, December 24, to introduce himself.
“He informed me that he is a
very big supporter of the work I do and that he had travelled to Nairobi from
Nakuru just to meet me before flying out,” Omtatah stated, referring to Kibet’s
impending trip to Israel for further studies.
"He also informed me that
he would be staying at his brother’s house before his departure. He did not
express any fears about his safety.”
The Busia Senator confirmed that
his security team had observed a white Subaru trailing Kibet to his offices
packed just across the street.
As a result, he added that he
had his driver and a colleague drive Kibet to the Kencom bus stage, where he
was expected to board a matatu to Kikuyu.
“When I learnt of his abduction,
I made a report to the Upperhill Police Station. I took it upon myself to make
that report because he left this house and did not arrive at his destination,”
he stated.
“I strongly believe that Mr.
Kibet was tracked and abducted by officers from the Directorate of Criminal
Investigations because, as soon as he arrived, my security informed me that
they were monitoring a white Subaru, which was mounted with suspected spy
communication gadgets used to intercept phone conversations.”
Further recounting the incident,
Omtatah said that the occupants of the vehicle—two men and a lady—did not leave
the entire time the cartoonist was at his office and did not depart until
shortly after Kibet left as well.
Kibet had reportedly been avoiding the capital out of fear for his safety, but his brother’s disappearance on Saturday prompted him to travel from Nakuru to the capital
