The United Nations Resident Coordinator to Kenya, Stephen Jackson has recently raised concerns over the abduction of Maria Sarungi Tsehai, a Tanzanian media personality and human rights defender who was reportedly abducted in Nairobi.
Taking to his X account, Jackson noted that the abduction of the Tanzanian national was worrying.
The abducted national is said to be a fierce critic of Tanzania’s President Samia Suluhu, though the reasons for her abductions are not yet established.
It is alleged that Tsehai was picked up by three armed men at Chaka Place in Kilimani on Sunday at around 3:15 pm.
Tsehai who was abducted is a media and communications expert and an ardent critic of President Samia Suluhu who does not shy away from exposing and calling out the Tanzanian government.

With her huge following on social media specifically on X, Tsehai had exposed the Tanzania Government’s plans to import two airplanes.
One is a brand new one for the VIP in Tanzania and the other is for Air Tanzania as a passenger plane.
Her abduction marks the second time a vocal East African activist has been kidnapped from an affluent neighborhood in Nairobi in barely three months after Ugandan opposition leader Kizza Besigye was abducted.
