Benedict Kabiru, a Kenyan police officer on a peacekeeping mission in Haiti, has been missing for over a month with no official updates on his whereabouts.
His families demands for answers 37 days after his mysterious disappearance. Kabiru’s brother said the silence from both Kenyan and Haitian authorities has left them emotionally distressed, with his mother, wife, and daughter deeply affected
The family has given the government 30 days to provide clear information or face legal action, citing conflicting reports and a lack of official communication
“Today marks 37 days since news broke of my brother’s disappearance. We still have no clarity and feel completely abandoned. His daughter, who passed her KCSE with flying colours, often asks me, ‘How are we going to live without my father?’” Kabiru’s brother queried
His uncle, Daniel Kabiru, also called for transparency, demanding the truth behind the officer’s disappearance.
Through their lawyer, the family has issued a 30-day ultimatum to the government to provide a clear report or face legal action.
“We have formally written to the office of the attorney general and we have requested written and unconditional information about Benedict Kabiru.
The family is more interested in getting confirmation from Haiti itself,” said the family’s lawyer, Mbuthi Gathenji.
The Kenyan police officer reportedly went missing in action after a violent clash with a Haitian gang on March 25.
According to a police statement, the officer went missing following an ambush along the Carrefour Paye-Savien main supply route in the Pont-Sonde area of the Artibonite Department.
Despite numerous appeals to both Kenyan and Haitian authorities, the family says they have received no concrete updates—only conflicting reports and vague reassurances.
