Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja has confirmed the disappearance of a Kenyan police officer in Haiti seven days after he first went missing.

While speaking to the press on Wednesday, Kanja revealed that search efforts are still ongoing to find the officer, who, despite going missing, is rumoured to have passed away. "That officer is still missing, and all efforts are in place to ensure that we get him.

We want to promise the family that we are doing everything possible to get him back," Kanja asserted.

The officer reportedly went missing on Tuesday, March 25, during a raid by Haitian gangs on Kenyan police officers.
