IG Hillary Mutyambai gives update on Dennis Itumbi’s abduction case

Inspector General (IG) of Police Hillary Mutyambai has said that they are still waiting on blogger Dennis Itumbi to record an official statement on his alleged abduction, as investigations continue.

Speaking during ‘Engage the IG’ on Twitter, IG Mutyambai mentioned Itumbi is yet to record a statement, making it hard to conclude investigations on his alleged abduction.

Itumbi was allegedly kidnapped outside a barbershop in Kiambu's Thindigua area on December 23 and put into a car before being driven away by unknown people.

According to Kasarani police chief Peter Mwanzo, Itumbi was discovered with various injuries by bodaboda riders in Lucky Summer on the same day.

The operators rushed him to a hospital within Kasarani before being transferred to Nairobi West.

On January 12, the digital strategist, and Hustler Nation spokesman, assured his followers and Hustler Nation loyals that he is fairing well, days after being discharged from hospital.

Itumbi said that he will not bow to intimidation, stating that although he was seriously injured during his disappearance, his resolve remained unshaken.
