Missing Embu County Speaker found in Limuru

NAIROBI, KENYA: Missing Embu County Assembly Speaker Kariuki Mate was on Friday morning dumped alive in Lumuru.
He was later rushed to the Aga Khan Hospital, Nairobi where he is receiving treatment.

Police say he was later brought to the Gigiri police station unconscious at midnight and no more arrest has been made.

Nairobi police boss Benson Kibue says the speaker was initially found in Limuru near St Paul's University while unconscious and taken to the police station by a canter that was transporting sweet potatoes to Nairobi. 

"The occupants of the canter say he flagged them down while looking drunk but smart and told them he was the missing speaker before they helped him to Gigiri police station. He is ok now," said Kibue.

Mate went missing on Monday from Utalii hotel, Nairobi after he was picked up by a car that sped off.

A police officer has since been charged with his abduction. Police say they will interrogate him later.
