It was a scary report when it emerged that Kisauni Jubilee Politician Mohamed Farid had been kidnapped by armed men from a cyber cafe in Mombasa where he was bundled in a Nairobi car and was robbed of money.
Family members and rights group Haki Africa announced Farid’s alleged kidnapping on Friday, only for him to surface on Sunday.
However an inquiry to probe the MP by police has arised after the incident. Farid is expected to shed light on claims he was kidnapped on Friday and freed after two days.
Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigation,Special Crime Prevention Unit and officers from the National Intelligence Service have been tasked to probe the matter.
It is reported that the kidnap theory had gaps as revealed by Kisauni police boss Christopher Limo.
“First we want want to establish why and how the politician left the two phones in the cyber,” Limo said.”Another question which we are looking into and needs urgent answers is the Sh50,000 he claims he had in his pocket and which he gave to the alleged kidnappers. Was he aware he would be kidnapped and thus had all that money on him?”The police boss said family members had earlier claimed the police were behind the kidnapping.
