On Saturday, as reported by one of the media houses, a senior government official was abducted by unknown men. The official, who works as a managing revenue director in one of the counties was kidnapped from his office by men who were carrying guns.
According to the official’s brother, the men fired bullets in the air before forcing his brother into a car and driving away quickly. He said that they do not yet know why his brother was taken.
“We are still in shock. They just came, shot in the air, and took him. We don’t know why,” he said.
The brother also said he believes that people who worked closely with his brother may be the ones behind the kidnapping. He claimed they planned this just so they could get a chance at a promotion in the office.
“Some of his close colleagues didn’t want him to move ahead in his job, so they planned this,” he said.
He also added that some people in the county office did not want Ali to be promoted. That is why, he says, they hired goons to take him to a private place.
“They don’t want him to rise. That is why they sent those men,” he added.
However, the DCI has told the family that investigations are ongoing. They said they are doing their best to find the missing official.
