Three suspects have been arraigned in court in connection with the alleged abduction of Juja MP George Koimburi.
Police, who are continuing with investigations, are seeking 15 days to detain the suspects as they work to uncover the motive behind the dramatic incident, which has sparked mixed reactions across political circles.
Police, who have so far interviewed and recorded statements from five individuals, claim that the MP staged his abduction for political gains.
Murang’a Kanyenyaini MCA Grace Nduta is in police custody as part of the ongoing probe.
She was arrested a day after the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) said they had recovered a private vehicle allegedly used in the abduction, a Subaru Forester, on Tuesday in Juja Township.
“The attention of the Directorate of Criminal Investigations has been drawn to reports circulating on social media on the alleged abduction of Grace Nduta Wairimu. We wish to confirm that Grace Nduta Wairimu, MCA representing Kanyenya-ini ward in Murang’a County, was arrested today May 29, 2025 as part of an ongoing investigation on the stage-managed abduction of Hon George Koimburi”, DCI said in a statement
“It has been confirmed that, despite her claims of being in Kangema and attending church services and political rallies on May 25, 2025, evidence clearly shows that she was at the Ellis Bar and Restaurant in Kiganjo, Gatundu South, with Hon. George Koimburi the entire night”, the DCI added pledging to give further updates.
Koimburi was taken to Karen Hospital in Nairobi, where he is admitted and has allegedly declined to record a statement.
