The family of Jamil and Aslam Longtone, the Kitengela brothers who were abducted by individuals believed to be police officers, has spoken out for the first time since their release. 

Abdi Razak, the brothers' sibling, recounted the traumatic experience they endured during their 30 days in captivity.

Speaking about the ordeal, Razak revealed that Jamil and Aslam, along with activist Bob Njagi, were subjected to intense torture and severe starvation. 

“From the second day, they were severely tortured and beaten while being questioned about the protests,” said Razak. 

The brothers, who were abducted on August 19, were held in an undisclosed location and kept incommunicado for an entire month.

During this time, they were given only one meal per day and limited water.

"They were served food once a day, and water was limited to 300ml," Razak disclosed, detailing the harsh conditions under which his brothers were kept.

The trio’s release on Friday coincided with the swearing-in of new Inspector General of Police, Douglas Kanja. 

According to Razak, after their release, they were left near Bishop Gate in Gachie and given a phone and KSh 300 for bus fare. 

"They were dropped near Bishop Gate in Gachie, handed back their phone, and given KSh 300 as bus fare," Razak added.

Medical reports indicate that Aslam sustained physical injuries from the brutality they faced.

Human rights groups and activists have been vocal in calling for accountability and transparency in the case, which has sparked public outrage. 

The brothers and Njagi were reportedly warned not to speak about their experience, further fueling concerns over the handling of their abduction.

The incident has drawn significant attention, with various groups demanding justice and a thorough investigation into the roles of law enforcement in the abductions.
