Former Cabinet Secretary Raphael Tuju has been reported missing, with his family raising alarm after his phone went off and his car was found abandoned in Nairobi.
According to the family, Tuju’s son, Mano Tuju, received a call from the Officer Commanding Station (OCS) at Karen Police Station informing him that his father’s vehicle had been discovered abandoned along Miotoni Lane.
The family says Tuju has not been seen since Saturday afternoon, and his phone has remained switched off since then.
"He had been scheduled to appear on Ramogi FM at around 7pm on Saturday evening," the family stated.
In a worrying development, Tuju reportedly filed a police report on Friday, stating that he was being followed by a white Land Cruiser 70-series vehicle without number plates.
