Cornelius Ronoh, the Digital Communications Officer for KANU, was reportedly abducted on October 7, 2024, near Nyayo Gate B in Fedha, Embakasi. He was taken outside a barber shop he regularly visits. His disappearance has caused significant concern within the Kenya African National Union (KANU), with the party condemning the act and calling for his immediate release. KANU has urged authorities to either produce Ronoh in court if he is facing any charges or to release him if not. The party has also dispatched legal representatives to escalate the matter with the police.
This incident raises broader concerns about the safety of political figures and the increasing trend of abductions in Kenya, particularly those involved in online political commentary.
