Raphael Tuju is Missing: was he kidnapped?

Concern continues to grow over the disappearance of Raphael Tuju, but emerging details suggest a deeper and more troubling context.

What was happening before he went missing?

In the days leading up to his disappearance, Tuju was at the center of a high-stakes property dispute in Karen involving his Dari Business Park.

 The matter revolves around a multi-billion shilling loan, which led to court battles, attempted auctions, and competing claims over ownership.

Tensions escalated when there were reports of a night operation at the property, where security was allegedly withdrawn and control of the premises taken over under contested circumstances. Tuju publicly questioned the legality of these actions, indicating that due process may not have been followed.

Then came the disappearance…

Shortly after these events, Tuju reportedly went missing. His car was later found abandoned, and all his phones switched off—raising serious concern. There were also claims that he had noticed suspicious movements around him shortly before he disappeared.

The bigger picture

We are now faced with a sequence that raises critical questions:

An intense and high-value property dispute

Controversial actions surrounding control of the land

Allegations of powerful interests involved

Then suddenly… a disappearance

The big question:

Is this a coincidence, or is there a connection between the Karen property dispute and his disappearance?

We, as Migori County Politics, ask:

Are we witnessing a legal battle escalating beyond control, or something far more serious?

What do you think is really happening?
