Omtatah Streams Live After Arrest in Protest

Busia Senator Okiyah Omtatah has been taken to Central Police Station with other ‘EndAbduction’ protesters in Nairobi for processing

After their arrest, Omtatah went live on X from inside the cell, displaying their current situation. The protesters were gathered in a room at the Central Police Station while singing a freedom hymn.

Tensions increased when police officers tried to separate one of the protesters from the group.

The remaining demonstrators stood firm, blocking the officers and asserting, “Hakuna mwenye anachukuliwa” (No one is going to be taken away).

Omtatah, a politician and activist, accused the police of violating the law by arresting them while they were exercising their democratic rights.

“Hamuwezi dhulumu Katiba halafu museme muko kazi. We cannot cooperate with anybody,” he declared.

The protester cautioned his fellow demonstrators, “Do not share your national identity numbers if they isolate you for questioning. ”

The group continued chanting “tekeleza katiba” (implement the constitution) before singing the national anthem.

The senator had joined Kenyans who marched through Nairobi’s central business district to demand the release of abducted Kenyan youths.

Earlier, Omtatah filed a petition in the High Court seeking to compel the Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja, the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) head Mohamed Amin, and Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Renson Ingonga, to present the missing Kenyans before the court.

Omtatah requested a habeas corpus order directing the Respondents to produce the bodies of Gideon Kibet, Ronny Kiplagat, Steve Kavingo Mbisi, Billy Mwangi, Peter Muteti, Bernard Kavuli, and Kelvin Muthoni in the petition submitted to Kibera High Court.

In Eldoret, former presidential candidate Reuben Kigame was arrested while attempting to lead anti-government protests. He was released shortly after.

In Mombasa, activists held similar demonstrations, where protesters called for immediate action to tackle the increasing cases of forced disappearances.

The organizers, however, ended the protest after discussions with police who convinced them that no abductions had taken place in the coastal city.
