NAIROBI, Kenya Mar 23 \u2013 Former Cabinet Secretary Raphael Tuju was on Monday arrested shortly after resurfacing from what his family and lawyers had described as a mysterious disappearance.<\/p>\n
Tuju had presented himself at a police station to record a statement regarding the incident when events took a chaotic turn.<\/p>\n
According to his legal team, officers abruptly moved in and arrested him before he could formally book a statement in the Occurrence Book.<\/p>\n
Lawyers present during the incident claimed Tuju was forcefully bundled into a Subaru vehicle, sparking a confrontation at the station. They further alleged that police did not clearly explain the reasons for the arrest at the time.<\/p>\n
The dramatic arrest came just hours after Tuju reappeared following a 24-hour disappearance that had raised fears of an abduction.<\/p>\n
Before resurfacing, Tuju had reportedly gone into hiding after noticing he was being trailed by unidentified vehicles in Karen. He later said he abandoned his car and sought refuge at a private residence out of fear for his safety.<\/p>\n
His disappearance had triggered concern after his vehicle was found abandoned, prompting calls for investigations into his whereabouts.<\/p>\n
While authorities had not immediately clarified the grounds for his arrest, reports indicate he could face allegations related to providing false information about the claimed abduction.<\/p>\n
The incident has raised fresh concerns over due process, with his legal team questioning why Tuju\u2014who had voluntarily presented himself\u2014was not formally processed before being taken away.<\/p>\n
The arrest adds a new twist to an already complex saga involving his reported disappearance, alleged surveillance, and ongoing legal and property disputes.<\/p>\n
