Leaders across the political divide have called out the police following the alleged abduction and torture of Deputy President William Ruto’s Digital strategist Dennis Itumbi.
Itumbi’s brother revealed how the blogger was whisked away into a white car by three unknown men at Thindigua along Kiambu Road.
My brother has been badly beaten. We thank God that he is alive. On his own account he was arrested by police and beaten and tortured. This is the state we found him in. (See pictures) Please pray for his recovery. Asanteni for your many prayers and support pic.twitter.com/tXBmfHZPfM
“My brother has been badly beaten. We thank God that he is alive. On his own account, he was arrested by police and beaten and tortured. Please pray for his recovery. Thank you for your many prayers and support,” David Itumbi said.
DP Ruto allies would support David’s sentiments by alleging that Itumbi was abducted because of his close relationship with the second in command.
In his statement, Kikuyu MP Kimani Ichung’wa expressed his criticism over the response of the police to the situation.
“Itumbi is a resilient and gallant soldier of the Hustler Nation. IG Mutyambai and CS Matiang’i know that as you prepare your PR statements today,” he stated.
