A Briton and six Turkish nationals were on Friday abducted in Nairobi under unclear circumstances.
According to Standard Digital, the incident happened at Kileleshwa area while the foreigners were driving to their office in the morning hours.
One of the victims Necdet Seyitoglu who is an education consultant in Nairobi said after being abducted, they were taken around for at least eight hours.
“It happened it the morning around 7:30 am, a white vehicle blocked our way and four men armed with guns jumped into our car,” Seyitoglu narrated to the Standard.
Adding that, “They covered our faces and took us around for eight hours, they took away my mobile phone and a laptop,”
He said the car that blocked them was a white jeep while they were in an office van. Seyitoglu is also attached to Light Academy in Nairobi.
Seyitoglu claims the abductors refused to identify themselves if they were police officers even though they were dressed in civilian but only asked them what they were doing in the country.
“After the ordeal, I was dumped in unknown location and one of the gunmen gave me Sh1,000 and ordered me to board a matatu as they proceeded with my colleagues,” Seyitoglu added.
Seyitoglu said it took him about an hour to trace back their office in Kileleshwa where he arrived around 4:30pm to start tracing his counterparts who were still missing at the time.
