Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen has been summoned by the High Court as the case regarding six abductees took a fresh twist on Tuesday, December 31.

Justice Bahati Mwamuye issued fresh orders at Milimani Law Courts directing Murkomen and Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja to attend a hearing to explain the whereabouts of six Kenyans who were reportedly abducted.

The six Kenyans are Peter Muteti, Bernard Kavuli, Gideon Kibet Billy Mwangi, Ronny Kiplangat and Steve Kivango.

Kanja was expected to avail himself before the courts on Tuesday after an initial court order but the Inspector General of Police was a no-show in what was a potential contempt of court.
