Njiru noted that the DCI officers took the former Mungiki leader to an undisclosed location.
“My client Maina Njenga was abducted by the DCI from his house in Kiambu. He has been taken to an undisclosed location,” Njiru claimed.

According to reports, the former Mungiki leader was at his father's home when police in unmarked cars stormed the house and arrested him.
He appeared in court on July 24 on charges of being in possession of offensive weapons, including 14 machetes, 24 Maasai swords, 46 rungus, and three jembe sticks.
Njenga was also charged with planning to organize an unlawful assembly and procession to take place in Nairobi City County and other parts of the country.
The court released him on July 25 on Sh100,000 cash bail and Sh200,000 alternative bail after he denied the charges.
The case will come up for a hearing on December 4, 2023.
