Leslie Muturi, the son of Attorney General Justin Muturi, was freed on Sunday night, some hours after he was purportedly arrested.

Leslie, 40, was allegedly transported to the ATPU offices in Upper Hill, where he was held and interrogated for hours, according to officials.

According to a family representative, Leslie was freed at 6:30 p.m.

On the evening of Saturday, June 22, Embakasi West MP Mark Mwenje revealed the occurrence while positioned behind the four-wheel drive car that Leslie was purportedly driving at the time of his said kidnapping.

According to reports, Leslie left using the vehicle after attending a well-known bar along Dennis Pritt. It was after this that they dragged him out of the vehicle and forced him into another car, which took off right away.

The reason for his abduction is still unknown.

Mwenje claimed that Leslie, whom he identified as his friend, was pulled out of his car by police officers at the side of the road in a video that went viral online on Saturday night.

In Nairobi’s Kilimani neighborhood, Mwenje said, they were driving in separate cars with their other companions when the purported police pulled over Leslie’s car and carried him away in a Land Cruiser.

“We were in Kilimani, my friend Leslie Muturi, son to AG Justin Muturi was just arrested by the police here on the road. I was the one following him, this is his car,” the MP said in the video.

The blue SUV stood on the side of the road, with its doors and boot open.

“To the police who have taken him, we will find you. Release him right now, we will not sleep until we find him. We have informed everyone in Nairobi,” he said in the video.

“The cops are telling us they do not know where he is yet the guys who have taken him are cops. We saw you in a white hardtop Land Cruiser, dressed in black combat. We saw you and have your plates.”
