The families of four men who went missing from Mlolongo, Machakos County, are in anguish after their loved ones were forcibly taken on December 16 and 17 last year.

The men have not been seen or heard from since.

Among the missing is 29-year-old Kalani Muema, a second-hand bag seller in Mlolongo.

He was reportedly abducted along with his friends Martin Nziuku, Justus Mutumwa, and Steve Mbisi, who was taken the following day.
