Main Story:
Last Known Movements Raise Alarm
Former Cabinet Secretary Raphael Tuju was last seen on Saturday afternoon, shortly after filing a report at Karen Police Station. In his statement, he claimed he had been trailed by a suspicious white Toyota Land Cruiser with no number plates the previous day.
The report, officially logged, hinted at possible security concerns but what followed has left many deeply unsettled.
Missed Appearance Sparks Concern
Tuju was scheduled to appear on Ramogi FM later that evening at around 7pm. However, he never made it on air. Attempts to reach him proved futile, as his phone remained switched off, an unusual move that immediately raised red flags among his family and associates.
Car Found, Questions Multiply
The situation took a more serious turn on Sunday morning when Tuju’s son received a call from police while attending church. Authorities informed him that his father’s vehicle had been discovered abandoned along Miotoni Lane in Karen.
This discovery prompted the filing of a missing person report, intensifying fears about his whereabouts and safety.
Investigation Underway
Police have now launched investigations into the circumstances surrounding his disappearance. The earlier report about being followed, combined with the abandoned vehicle, has added urgency to the case.
Family members remain anxious, calling for swift action and clarity as the search continues.
