The family in Lamu County wants the court to order the Director of Public Prosecutions, Inspector General of Police and the Police Service Commission to produce Mr Ali Bunu.

According to the family, Mr Ali went missing from April 8, this year after he was allegedly abducted by the police.

On the said date, two police officers clad in civilian were allegedly seen at his compound before he went missing.

Mr Masjid Bunu, a brother to Mr Ali said on the material date, he was informed that his brother had been taken from his house in Kwasese, Hindu West in Lamu County by two plain clothes police officers.

Mr Masjid also claimed two government land cruisers were spotted at Mr Ali’s compound.

The family which claimed that Mr Ali’s life is in great danger, said the government wrongly and without justice, detained him.

Lady Justice Asenath Ongeri ordered the case to be heard on September 7.
