Former Nacada director John Mututho is reportedly facing potential arrest due to allegations that he transformed his rehabilitation center into a site for unlawful abductions and confinement, all for a fee.
Investigations reveal that the JOMEC rehabilitation center in Nakuru recently received payments to facilitate the abduction and illegal detention of two Somali sisters, Hafsa and Sumaya, which is in direct violation of the law.
Sources indicate that the sisters were forcibly taken and are currently being held at the facility linked to Mututho. Attempts to contact Mututho for his side of the story have been unsuccessful, as he did not respond to phone calls seeking clarification on the situation.
The matter has been reported at a Local police station and multiple human right actuvisits and advocate wants Mututho arrested and prosecuted.
According to our investigations, two sisters are in a tough situation. One is a computer scientist, and the other is a medical doctor. Their family is trying to control them with strict cultural and religious rules. The sisters are independent and have their own careers.
Reports say that two weeks ago, family members tricked them. They ended up at JOMEC, a drug and rehab center in Nakuru. This center is run by John Mututho, a former politician and anti-drug advocate.
The sisters, who are adults and of sound mind, found themselves trapped. They reached out to friends for help to get released from the center.
Last week, two friends visited JOMEC. They brought a demand letter from a lawyer asking for the sisters’ release. However, they were met with rudeness.
“We were told to deliver the demand letter about the sisters’ abduction and forced detention. The staff was rude and unhelpful,” a source told our team.
Sources say the staff at the facility refused to accept the demand letter and returned it.
The friends then went to a local police station to file a report. They faced a difficult police officer but insisted on filing their statement.
They also contacted local journalists, who reached out to Mr. John Mututho. He admitted that the girls were being held against their will and that money had been paid for this.
“Our people spoke with local journalists. When they called Mututho, he confirmed that the sisters were not on drugs. However, he said they would stay at the facility as long as their family paid,” a source said.
Our investigations show that the sisters have faced similar forced abductions in the past. They were taken to a place called the Somali Cultural Rehabilitation Centre in Uganda, Nairobi, and Somalia.
Lawyers now want John Mututho arrested and prosecuted for the forced abduction and confinement of these innocent girls
