Democratic Action Party (DAP-K) leader Eugene Wamalwa has called for the immediate release of two missing Kenyan activists, Bob Njagi and Nicholas Oyoo, who went missing on Wednesday, October 1, 2025, in Kampala, Uganda.

Wamalwa’s call comes hours after the Kenya Human Rights Commission announced plans to storm the Ugandan Embassy in Nairobi on Tuesday, October 28, 2025, to force the release of two on Monday, October 27, 2025.

End to abductions

”Abductions, enforced disappearances and extrajudicial killings have become normalised in Kenya and East Africa to the extent that we are now beginning to talk about cross-border abductions and cross-border coverups like we talk about cross-border trade in the EAC, which is unacceptable!” Eugene Wamalwa took to X on Monday, October 27, 2025.

”As Martin Luther King Jnr once said, a threat to Justice/freedom anywhere is a threat to Justice/freedom everywhere, and we must continue demanding an end to these abductions and for the release of Bob Njagi, Nicholas Oyoo and all abductees!” Wamalwa added.

In a notice issued on Saturday night, October 26, 2025, KHRC will also extend the protests by paralysing operations at the Malaba and Busia border points on Tuesday, demanding the release of Njagi and Oyoo.

KHRC mass protest

”How long will we let William Ruto and Yoweri Museveni trade our lives for power? They abduct our comrades and think fear will silence us. On October 28, we answer with thunder. Streets packed. Borders shut. Embassy surrounded. They must free Bob Njagi and Nicholas Oyoo,” KHRC said.

The KHRC declaration comes days after the National Unity Platform party presidential aspirant and Uganda’s opposition leader, Robert Kyagulanyi, alias Bobi Wine, blasted the Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF) for failing to disclose the whereabouts of the two abductees.

”Like it did with comrade Sam Mugumya, whom it abducted 2 months ago and remains missing to date, the shameless Museveni regime has also denied having in its custody our Kenyan comrades Bob Njagi and Nicholas Oyoo, whom it abducted in Kampala on 1st October! A regime that came to power 40 years ago, promising to end gross human rights violations, is now blatantly engaging in even worse! We must end this impunity once and for all, fellow Ugandans!” Bobi Wine took to X on Wednesday, October 22, 2025.
