BREAKING: MP Peter Salasya Claims He Was Attacked by Armed Men Posing as DCI Officers
Mumias East Member of Parliament, Peter Salasya, has alleged that he was ambushed and attacked by unidentified individuals claiming to be officers from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI).
In a statement released posted on his official page, the legislator said the assailants, who were heavily armed, intercepted his convoy, disarmed his security team, and confiscated their fi****ms. According to Salasya, the attackers opened fire on his vehicle, seemingly targeting him directly.
"One of my security officers managed to escape and led me to safety through a nearby bush," the MP said. "They later emerged with about 15 AK47 rifles and delivered a chilling message which, for now, I cannot publicly disclose due to security concerns."
Salasya emphasized that he has not been antagonizing the government in his public addresses and has remained committed to promoting peace and development.
He further claimed he was being taken to an undisclosed location, urging both the authorities and the public to pay close attention to his situation.
Authorities have yet to issue a statement on the incident.
