As cases of abductions continue to rise across the country, Mathira Member of Parliament Eric Wamumbi is alleging that there are Kenyans who are abducting themselves to create tension.

In a letter to the Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI), Wamumbi has identified a hotel in Nairobi, where he alleges secret meetings are being held to plan how to self-abduct and create a perception of insecurity and stir up the country. "I am writing to request for investigation on activities being carried out at a popular Nairobi hotel regarding the ongoing debate on abductions," a section of the letter addressed to the Director of DCI Mohammed Amin. "As we sympathise with parents who have raised concerns about the whereabouts of their children, I believe some people are carrying out meetings in the said facility to organise fake abductions which are meant to incite the public," the letter continued.
