A dramatic turn of events has shaken the nation as the supposed abduction of Juja MP George Koimburi takes a puzzling twist — and the truth may be far from what Kenyans were led to believe.
The National Police Service (NPS) has now cast serious doubt on the shocking viral video that appeared to show Koimburi dumped in a coffee plantation, visibly shaken and injured. But according to top police officials, the scene may have been staged — and the motive could be even more scandalous.
Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja, addressing the nation in a stern statement on Tuesday, revealed that no physical evidence was found at the alleged site of the incident. “The coffee farm in Juja, where the MP claimed he was dumped, doesn’t match the video footage,” Kanja confirmed.
Police were alerted to the incident after an amateur video flooded social media on Sunday, May 26. It showed Koimburi lying on the ground in apparent distress. But when officers rushed to the location, they found no signs of a struggle — and the farm’s caretaker, Moses Kariuki, told police he saw nothing unusual.
Even more puzzling, the vehicle used to take Koimburi to Plainsview Hospital was traced back to his own name. Behind the wheel? Frida Njeri, reportedly the first person at the scene. However, hospital officials declined to share medical details, leaving the MP’s true condition unclear.
A high-level investigative team from the DCI and forensic experts is now combing through evidence, and five people — including close associates of the MP — have already been questioned.
But the biggest twist? Authorities now believe the entire drama may have been a diversion to dodge arrest.
Police say Koimburi had been under active investigation for land fraud and misuse of public funds, with prosecution already authorized by the ODPP. On Friday, May 23, he allegedly fled on a motorbike, ditching his phone to avoid being tracked, while his official car — driven by his chauffeur — was intercepted.
He didn’t resurface until Sunday, just as headlines about his “abduction” exploded across the internet.
And while the MP’s wife, Ann, insists he was violently grabbed outside a church by two unknown men in plain clothes, police are now questioning the timeline — and motive.
“The timing is suspect, and the inconsistencies are glaring,” Kanja said. “We will pursue every lead and ensure the truth comes out. If this was a smokescreen, it won’t work.”
With Kenya watching closely, questions continue to swirl: Was Koimburi truly kidnapped — or is this a case of political theatre designed to escape justice?
The NPS is now urging anyone with credible information to step forward via local stations or toll-free hotlines 999, 911, 112, or Fichua Kwa DCI (0800 722 203).
One thing is clear: this story is far from over — and the truth may be even more shocking than fiction.
