A family in Mariakani, Kwale County is crying for justice after their kin was forcefully abducted by unknown persons under unclear circumstances.

Omar Mangale,33 a Madrassa teacher at Madina Madrasa Mosque in Mariakani was reportedly abducted on Friday 20, at around 5.20 pm at his home in Kichinjio village.

According to Mangale’s wife, Zainab Chengo, her husband was bundled into a white land cruiser by people they suspected to be police officers and has not been seen since then.

 “They arrested another boy called Kassim Musa who then redirected them to her husband. When Kassim was arrested, they asked him to direct him to Omar. That's when they came and arrested my husband, they went together and later released Kassim on the way,” claimed Chengo.

Speaking at the Haki Africa offices on Sunday, the family claims they cannot trace their kin as their frantic efforts to look for him at various police stations within Kwale County have not bore any fruits.

"They forcefully bundled the boy and loaded my husband in the car and fled with him, since then we can't locate him, we have tried to go to all police stations and we can't find him."said Chengo with tears rolling down her chin.

They filed the report at Kalalani police station .The family reports that Omar was kidnapped alongside his friend  Kassim Musa, but minutes later Kassim was released by the abductors.

 "I want my husband to be released because I depended on him for everything, he was the breadwinner, he has never had a criminal record, we are very bitter by the way they carried him,” she added.

According to the family members Kassim is a cleaner at the Mosque where Omar works, and they are said to be close friends.

It is reported that after Omar was captured he was asked to hand over all his sim cards to his abductors before they fled with him.

Mangale Chondo, father to the abducted, referred to his son as a Godly man who dedicated his time to serving humanity. He said his son has never had a criminal record because his work was teaching at the Madrassa.

"I want to ask the government to help us get my son, so that we can have peace of mind, we are suffering emotionally because we don't know his status," said his father.

His brother Juma Ismael said Omar was a peaceful person, a madrassa teacher and has no any criminal record.

"My brother has never had a criminal record, he is a peaceful person who taught religion at a local madrassa, what we are aski6as a family is to have our kin back," he said.
