Acting Inspector General of Police Gilbert Masengeli has failed to appear in court over the disappearance of two siblings and an activist in Kitengela.

The court is expected to rule whether to issue warrant of arrest against him.

Earlier, High Court Judge Lawrence Mugambi had ordered Masengeli to appear before him in person to explain why three men abducted in Kitengela have not been released.

The Judge had ordered the release of Njagi, Aslam Longton, and Jamil Longton or their production in court, either alive or dead.

The Attorney General, through state counsel Wanjiku Mwangi, urged the court to allow Masengeli to send a representative.
