The mother of missing security analyst Mwenda Mbijiwe broke down in court during a habeas corpus hearing, reigniting pressure on the Kenyan government to account for her son's disappearance nearly five years ago. She claims he was abducted by State agents and accuses the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) of stonewalling.

• A letter from the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) to the DCI, reportedly from 2025, inquiring about Mwenda's release on bond, was presented as evidence.
• Lawyer Evans Ondieki argued this letter suggests Mwenda may have been in police custody, contradicting the State's claim of unknown whereabouts.
• The hearing follows unfulfilled court orders from October 2025 by High Court Judge Justice Martin Muya for the State to produce Mwenda, dead or alive.
