Sifuna Alleges Mortuary of Collusion

Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna has accused the Nairobi Funeral Home, formerly City Mortuary, and by extension the Nairobi County Government, of being complicit in hiding the bodies of Kenyans allegedly abducted and killed by police.

This follows the discoveries of the bodies of Justus Mutumwa and Martin Mwau, two of three men who were abducted by suspected government operatives in Mlolongo on December, 16, 2024, at the morgue on January 30.

Despite the families' previous visits to the facility without finding the bodies, the morgue informed them that the two bodies had been at the facility since December 18, just two days after the duo went missing.

This contradicts previous visits by the families, during which they were unable to locate the bodies, raising serious questions about the morgue’s involvement in the disappearances.

In a statement on X on Friday, Sifuna pointed out the contradictions in the statements issued by the morgue, stating that the situation pointed to a disturbing collusion between mortuary staff and the alleged abductors.
“Nairobi City Mortuary, its management and the County Government are complicit in the abduction and killing of Kenyans. How is it the bodies of the men from Mlolongo have been there since December 18 and when families visited the facility, they couldn’t find them?” the Nairobi Senator posed.

“It is clear the management is in cahoots with the abductors and must be held to account.”
