Digital strategist Dennis Itumbi has detailed his last moments with two missing Indian nationals, Zulfiqar Ahmad Khan and Zaid Sami Kidwai.
According to a local daily, the duo had arrived in Kenya in April to be part of President William Ruto's ICT campaign team but disappeared on July 25 after being kidnapped outside Ole Sereni Hotel located off Mombasa road.
Itumbi on Friday, October 21, alleged that the disappearance of the duo was linked with the DCI Special Service Unit (SSU) that was disbanded by the president.
"This was one unit that was literally used to kidnap, assault, maim and kill innocent people. They targeted those who supported the election of Ruto as President," Itumbi stated.
He said that Zaid was a good guy and when he first met him, he gave him his card and promised to support President Ruto's online campaign strategy.

Itumbi further claimed that Zaid and Ahmad had invited him to visit India but promised to do that after the general election.
"Zaid and Ahmad were just good people who became my friends and in the process connected with some in our team. They visited Mombasa, Homabay, Mara, Nyama Choma joints and damn they loved our dance joints too," he said.
Itumbi alleged that the duo lost their phones during one night out before returning home and he went to look for them at their usual location but did not find them and they could not be reached.
"Just the other day, I finally got to know their painful last moments in the hands of people whose only mission was to ensure Ruto does NOT become President even if it means killing people," Itumbi said.
He claimed that the evidence of the incident was disturbing and overwhelming.
