Abduction of Ethiopian businessman, Samson Teklemichael
The matter comes only months after a protest was held in Nairobi over the abduction of businessman Samson Teklemichael.
The family of Tekklemichael and human rights activists on February 24 said they believe he was taken by Kenyan security agencies.
His wife Milen Mezgebo said only government agencies would abduct a person in broad daylight in front of an uniformed police officer.
“If those were thugs, the traffic police officers would not have allowed them to take Samson. Secondly, if they were thugs, they would have asked for ransom by now, so this is the government,” Mezgebo said.
The businessman was last spotted on Friday, November 19, after he was picked up by unidentified men and accosted to an awaiting vehicle with videos of the incident being circulated online.
Teklemichael is a businessman in oil and gas business. He deals with oil and gas products in Nairobi and Addis Ababa, his friends said. He is of Tigray origin. It is not clear if this is the reason for his abduction.
