Friday, June 28, 2024 - Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has accused National Intelligence Service (NIS) Director General Noordin Haji of orchestrating the abduction of young Kenyans during the anti-Finance Bill 2024 demonstrations, which culminated in the storming of Parliament on Tuesday.
In a press conference in Mombasa, Gachagua, who has been linked to the protests by NIS, claimed that it was Noordin Haji who ordered NIS officers to arrest influencers advocating for the occupation of Parliament protests online.
Some notable influencers, including Gabriel Oguda, Billy Simani (alias Crazy Nairobian), Ashad Khalif, and Dr. Austin Omondi, among others, were abducted at night by hooded men whom many believed to be officers from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI).
Gachagua alleged that the individuals abducting Kenyans at night were NIS officers acting under instructions from Haji.
“Sadly, this is back. It is unbelievable that the son of the Attorney General of Kenya was abducted in a commando style by officers of the National Intelligence Service and held incommunicado for 18 hours,” he stated.
“I want to ask our law enforcement agencies to dignify the President and I before Kenyans and not backtrack on the promises we made to the people.”
Gachagua claimed that the NIS was fabricating lies and propaganda to falsely attribute the chaos to leaders, including himself.
He pleaded with security agencies not to take Kenyans back to the dark days of the Nyayo era.
