The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) has ordered the arrest of Isiolo Governor Abdi Guyo and seven others on charges of kidnapping with intent to cause grievous harm and robbery with violence. The incident occurred on June 19, 2025, in Machakos County, involving the alleged abduction and assault of the former Isiolo County Chief Officer of Health, Abdirahaman Mohamed.

• The ODPP directed the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) to apprehend Governor Guyo.
• The victim, Abdirahaman Mohamed, was allegedly disarmed, attacked, kidnapped, and later abandoned at the Ruai Sewage area.
• Losses reported by Mohamed include a licensed Glock pistol with 15 rounds, an iPhone 16, and Kshs 70,000 in cash.
• CCTV footage from Outbark Hotel in Maanzoni placed Governor Guyo and seven other named individuals at the scene.

Following his acquittal on terrorism-related charges, Manyatta MP Gitonga Mukunji has called on President William Ruto to ensure national security, accusing the State of fueling insecurity during peaceful protests. Mukunji, a vocal critic of the administration, also criticized state agencies like the ODPP for allegedly misusing the law.

• On Friday, September 6, MP Mukunji was acquitted after being arrested months earlier on allegations of incitement during the Saba Saba Day protests.
• He accused the State of hiring goons and making the country insecure for Kenyans.
• Mukunji had previously alleged that his arrest stemmed from a failed assassination plot where he claimed he was to be framed with explosives.
• He filed a petition at the High Court challenging his arrest, terming it unlawful and politically motivated, targeting Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja, DCI Director Mohamed Amin, and DPP Renson Ingonga.
