The High Court in Kenya has ordered police authorities to produce Tanzanian opposition activist Twaha Mwaipaya, either alive or dead, as questions arise over his abduction and detention. Mwaipaya, who is the national mobilization coordinator for the youth wing of Tanzania's main opposition party, CHADEMA, was reportedly abducted in Kamulu, Nairobi, on October 25, 2026.
The court has directed the Inspector General of Police, the Directorate of Criminal Investigations, and the Officer Commanding Ruai Police Station to present Mwaipaya before the court on Monday, November 2, 2026, at 11 am. The court has also ordered the production of the original detention warrant and a reason for why Mwaipaya should not be immediately released.
The case was brought by Vocal Africa on behalf of Mwaipaya, and the court has been given until 9 am on Monday to receive responses from the respondents.
