“He disappeared on February 27; we went to his workplace and saw where he had signed in, but they did not show us where he signed out. They refused to give us the CCTV footage of the day he was at work,” said his wife.
On Friday, Ng’ang’a left for work in the morning, and later in the day he had a brief conversation with his wife. Later calls and text messages went unanswered.

What are other Kenyan activists’ opinions?
The 36-year-old accountant’s wife is now asking about the safety of her husband, as they have been looking for him everywhere, including the Nairobi Funeral Home.
“We have two children; one in Grade Two and another in Baby Class, and I am also eight months pregnant. I am asking the government why they have taken him at this time when I really need him,” she said.
Activist Mwabili Mwagodi also weighed in on the matter and said that they went to his workplace but were not given the CCTV or pertinent details.

Drama as Kenyans save man from abduction
In a previous story, there was drama in Nakuru after Kenyans intervened as men were trying to ‘abduct’ a young man in broad daylight.
As seen in a video clip, the young man is seen surrounded by his suspected tormentors, who had handcuffed him, and minutes later, the public started demanding his release.
Screams rent the air, and some women even attempted to hit the abductors before a uniformed policeman came in at the right time and helped the situation.
