As the probe into the mysterious disappearance and possible murder of the two Indians who were working for William Ruto’s campaign team and their driver continues, the wife of one of them has shared details of their last moments as free men.
The Indian IT experts Mohammad Zaid Sami Kidwai and Zulfiqar Ahmed Khan alongside Nicodemus Mwania, their driver, went missing in July after they were abducted near Ole Sereni hotel by people believed to be members of the dreaded DCI Special Service Unit.
In a letter to the Indian High Commissioner, Zaid’s wife Ambreen Kidwai revealed that the two Indians, who were friends, came to Kenya on tourist visas in February this year.
Ambreen said that on the day of their abduction, they went out to have some drinks.
“They had stepped out of the Nairobi hotel where they were staying and headed to a bar at 10:45 pm on July 22, 2022,” she said in her letter.
She later called Zaid a few minutes before midnight and he told her that he would leave the bar in 15 minutes. She proceeded to bed and woke up at 3 am only to discover that her husband was not yet back.
She reached her husband and their driver but their phones had been switched off. Ambreen went ahead to contact their friends in Nairobi who said that they had not heard from him.
The next day, she visited the bar where her husband and colleagues had been and asked for CCTV footage which indicated that the three men left the joint a few minutes before 1 am. They boarded a Toyota Sedan, which they had been using.
Investigations revealed that they were possibly murdered and their bodies dumped in the Aberdare Forest. The motive for their death still remains a mystery.
So far, 9 police officers from the disbanded SSU have been linked to their disappearance.
