Authorities have launched investigations into the mysterious disappearance of a British businessman shortly after he checked into a luxurious hotel in Westlands, Nairobi.

The businessman, identified as Campbell Scott, was reported missing on Monday, February 17, by his colleague who he had travelled with to Nairobi on official business.

Scott is a senior director with the data company Fico.

The Times, a media outlet in the UK, reports that Scott, alongside his associate, was in Nairobi for a conference.
