Sources have told Citizen Digital that the woman’s body was booked at the morgue by a private citizen.
Mwatha, who was a founding member of the Dandora Community Social Justice Centre, was last seen on Wednesday last week when she took her daughter to school but failed to report to work.
On Monday, Haki Africa executive director Hussein Khalid said her mysterious disappearance, especially after reportedly receiving threats from police officers, raises questions.
“We are taking this matter seriously and view it as an affront to human rights defenders across the country,” said Khalid in his office.
Mwatha has been involved in documenting cases of extrajudicial killings (EJK) in Nairobi’s Dandora estate.
Earlier , Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko had offered Sh300,000 reward for information on the missing activist.
