Billy Mwangi after he was reunited with his family.

The 24-year-old was abducted by hooded men at a barbershop in Embu town, where his father, Gerald Karicha, said he had been under surveillance for days. His family believes his abduction was linked to his criticism of the Kenya Kwanza administration.

Peter Muteti, abducted on December 21, 2024, outside an apartment in Nairobi, was found in the Nairobi Central Business District on Monday.

Meanwhile, at least six other individuals, including cartoonists Kibet Bull and Steve Mbisi, remain missing after similar abductions.

The protests organised by human rights groups aim to highlight the enforced disappearances and demand government accountability.
