The family lawyer of missing blogger Ndiangui Kinyagia has confirmed that he is alive and willing to present himself in court and to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI).
In a statement on Thursday, July 3, 2025, lawyer Wahome Thuku revealed that the blogger had gone into hiding briefly after learning that he was being pursued over unknown criminal allegations.
“On behalf of the family of Ndiangui Kinyagia, I wish to inform the Kenyan public as follows:
“That Ndiangui, who went missing last week, has contacted the family and that he is well, healthy and safe.
“Ndiangui contacted a family member on Tuesday evening from an undisclosed location. He indicated to the family member that he had hidden temporarily for fear of his life upon learning that DCI officers were looking for him over unknown criminal allegations,” Thuku said.
Ready to present himself
“Ndiangui has indicated that he is ready and willing to present himself to the DCI and to be presented before any court of law when his safety and security are guaranteed. We have therefore advised him to present himself before the High Court at Milimani Law Courts today, Thursday the 3rd July 2025 at 11:00 am,” the lawyer added.
“This information has been duly communicated to the Law Society of Kenya for analysis and presentation in court. We wish to remind the public that the DCI broke into his house in his absence and carried away several items, and that the family reported the subsequent events at Kinoo Police Station,” Thuku stated.
“The family of Ndiangui wishes to thank all Kenyans, both in Kenya and abroad, for the support you have accorded them throughout this trying moment. It is our hope and prayer that justice will prevail in this matter.”
Mysterious disappearance
The revelations come just after the Director of the DCI, Amin Mohammed, was set to appear before the court to answer questions on the whereabouts of the blogger who disappeared just days before the June 25, 2025, protests.
According to eyewitness accounts shared by LSK, Kinyagia’s home was raided in broad daylight by a group of six to ten men driving Subaru vehicles.
The intruders forcibly broke into the residence and seized several items, including laptops, passports, and other electronic devices. Since the incident, the advocate’s whereabouts remain unknown.
