According to reports from his family and close associates, Tuju was last seen on Saturday afternoon, March 21.
Efforts to reach him through his phone have since been unsuccessful, raising alarm among his relatives and supporters.
The situation took a dramatic turn on Sunday morning when police from Karen Police Station informed the family that his vehicle had been found abandoned along Miotoni Lane in Karen.
What made the discovery more worrying is that the car keys were reportedly left inside, suggesting that he may have disappeared suddenly or under duress.
Siaya Governor James Orengo added a political dimension to the incident, claiming that Tuju may have been abducted.
Speaking to the media, Orengo said, “Tuju ametekwa nyara, gari lake limeachwa mahali na funguo ziko ndani – tumwombee,” urging Kenyans to pray for his safety as investigations continue.
Before his disappearance, Tuju had reportedly raised concerns about his safety. He is said to have filed a police report indicating that he was being followed by a suspicious white Land Cruiser without a number plate a day earlier.
