IG Koome Given 5-Hour Ultimatum To Produce Body of Abducted Sickly Youth With Pregnant Wife: Inspector General of Police Japhet Koome was on Wednesday ordered to produce the body of Issa Osman Guyo before 4:00 pm.
Guyo’s lawyer Benjamin Njeru confirmed that the youth, who is sickly and nursing a pregnant wife, went missing on Saturday and has not yet been found.
His lawyers have since filed a petition at the High Court of Isiolo and named IG Japhet Koome as the first respondent alongside the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), the Attorney General, the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), and the National Intelligence Service (NIS).
Guyo was abducted in Isiolo Town and bundled into a black Prado by heavily armed gunmen believed to be police officers.
The Petition Read, “Given that the Applicant is unwell and on medication, the family is reasonably apprehensive that his continued detention may harm his fragile health. Besides, he has a 6-month pregnant wife who needs his utmost care,”
Njeru Stated,”The court has allowed an application for our client was abducted in Isiolo on Saturday and held incommunicado. The IG of Police is now required to produce him in court at 4pm today.”
Confirming his abduction was Issa’s brother Abdi Osman Guyo who decried that his kin was sickly and needed immediate access to medication.
Abdi stated, “His health could deteriorate if he is not on medication due to his condition. He married recently. Any further detention infringes their right to liberty, dignity, and security… We want them released unconditionally.”
