Victor Kibet, a 23-year-old graduate from Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT), is at the center of a perplexing case. Despite being jobless, he has been linked to four luxury cars and now, a baffling abduction.
His father, Paul Mutai, is unable to definitively explain his son’s source of income. Yet, Kibet’s possessions—a 2023 pearl white Mercedes-Benz GLC 250 4matic, an Audi Q5, a recently sold Toyota Mark X, and a Subaru Forester reserved for weekend drives—paint a picture of prosperity.
Kibet’s kidnapping was officially documented under OB No 74/19/3/24 at Juja police station. The incident took place in Juja Sub-county, Kiambu, where he was seized by individuals masquerading as police officers.
A 2023 Bachelor of Commerce graduate from JKUAT, Kibet has been described by his father as a sharp businessman with an eye for lucrative opportunities. However, the specifics of his business remain a mystery to his family.
Events Leading to the Abduction:
On the day of his abduction, Kibet was at an entertainment joint playing pool when he was forcibly taken and placed into a Subaru, followed by a double-cab pickup. His captors identified themselves as police officers and were armed. The family’s search for Kibet at various police stations, including Thika, Juja, Ruiru, and Central Police Station, yielded no results.
Kibet’s success was often showcased on social media, particularly on TikTok, where he shared videos of his lavish lifestyle, including driving his Mercedes-Benz and visiting a grand home he was helping his father construct in their rural village in Narok.
Family’s Plight
The abduction has left his father in a state of distress, torn between hope and despair. Mr. Mutai, who was on his way to Nairobi from Narok to uncover the truth about his son’s disappearance, expressed his deep concern and the financial support they shared.
Juja sub-county police commander Michael Mwaura confirmed the kidnapping report and stated that investigations are in progress.
