Responding to inquiries about ongoing abductions and extrajudicial killings allegedly involving police officers, Prof. Kindiki reiterated that the government does not sanction such actions. “Myself, including the President, have made it clear that this administration does not condone abductions, extra-judicial killings, or enforced disappearances,” he emphasized.

Hussein is found,” Prof. Kindiki stated.
