Busia Senator Okiya Omtatah and scores of activists were yesterday arrested as they protested against the rising cases of abductions and enforced disappearances of government critics.

The demonstrators had gathered at Aga Khan Walk in Nairobi's Central Business District (CBD).

The protestors were initially booked at Central Police Station before being transferred to Gigiri Police Station.

Protests also erupted in various parts of the country, with demonstrators filling the streets and chanting in outrage over the increasing cases of abductions and extrajudicial killings.
