DPP Approves Charges

The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions has given the green light for the prosecution of Raphael Tuju. According to legal documents shared by his defense team, Tuju will be charged with providing false information to a public officer, an offence outlined under Section 129(a) of the Penal Code.

Alleged False Abduction Claim

The charge centers on an incident said to have occurred on March 21, 2026, at the Entim Sidai Spa & Wellness Sanctuary. Prosecutors allege that Tuju told a police officer from Karen Police Station that he had been followed by unknown individuals and later abducted.

However, investigators now claim that this account was fabricated. They argue that Tuju was fully aware that the information he provided was false and intended for authorities to act on it.

Disappearance That Sparked Concern

Tuju’s reported disappearance had earlier raised alarm among his family and the public, with concerns escalating to the point where a court case was filed to compel security agencies to reveal his whereabouts.

Reappearance Raises Questions

The situation took another twist when Tuju resurfaced, explaining that he had been in hiding. This revelation has now become a key issue in the case against him, with prosecutors insisting that his earlier claims misled law enforcement.
