Kenya has officially pressed Uganda for answers regarding the whereabouts of two abducted Kenyan activists, Bob Njagi and Nicholas Oyoo, who were reportedly seized by armed men in Kampala on Wednesday, October 1, 2025. The activists were in Uganda for a meeting with National Unity Platform (NUP) presidential candidate Robert Kyagulanyi, also known as Bobi Wine, when they were abducted at a petrol station in the Kireka area.

• Kenya’s Principal Secretary for Foreign Affairs, Korir Sing’Oei, confirmed that Kenya’s Mission in Uganda raised the matter with local authorities.
• The High Commission of the Republic of Kenya in Kampala sent a formal communication to Uganda’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, requesting urgent clarification and assistance from relevant security agencies.
• The families of the missing activists raised alarm through a letter addressed to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Nairobi by the civil society group Vocal Africa.
• An unnamed activist who was also abducted but later released, recounted being bundled into a waiting car with Oyoo and Njagi before their phones were switched off.

The Indian government is deporting several Kenyan women discovered in a Powai hotel with expired tourist visas. They are part of a group of 15 women from Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania found during a surprise check by authorities.

• Nine of the 15 women detained were Kenyans who arrived on tourist visas.
• The Powai police allegedly suspect the women were working as commercial sex workers and booked the hotel manager for failing to report them.
• This incident follows a recent case in May where a Kenyan woman was arrested at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA) for attempting to smuggle 1.57 litres of liquid cocaine, worth approximately ₹15.71 crore (Ksh238 million).
