"When we got to Chaka centre I realised we were not stopping and they started to head towards the State Lodge and I asked them where they were taking me," she revealed.
She revealed that the officers informed her that in order to be free she must comply with whatever they request of her. She however did not reveal details of her release.
Another victim Mwangi Wangai was reportedly abducted by yet another set of unknown people who blindfolded and took him to an unknown location.
Wangai explained that he was handcuffed and did not get a chance to speak to anyone including his wife before they took off. He was tortured for four hours as the officers drove around.
Additionally, Wangai revealed that the suspects were armed and questioned him on who was funding the protests.
"They came with guns and did not identify themselves to me. They handcuffed, blindfolded me and shoved me in the car. They also pushed my head down to prevent me from seeing where we were going," he remarked.
According to the two, they were being targeted for their role in planning to oust the Laikipia East MP and Laikipia Woman Representative.
The two were collecting signatures from the residents to recall the two politicians.
Mwangi and Wangai are among young Kenyans who were abducted after the anti-government protests. Some were released with injuries and psychological trauma.
Additionally, some are still missing and since the protests began on June 18, property worth undisclosed value was destroyed. by
