Caroline Mutai, Kibet Bull's mother.

Social media influencer and cartoonist Kibet Bull has announced his release following an alleged abduction that occurred two weeks ago.

Kibet reported that he was dropped off in Luanda, Vihiga County, during the early hours of Monday, between 3 am and 4 am.

His mother, Caroline Mutai, confirmed his release, stating that Kibet reached out to her around 10 am, identifying himself and indicating that he was on his way home.

“We are very happy now; we have lit candles. He told me he is in Nakuru,” she shared.

Caroline expressed that the festive season had been a difficult time for her due to her son’s disappearance.

“I wept; while other families were celebrating, I was in tears, reading the Bible,” she recounted.

She vowed to host a celebration for her two sons who have returned home safely.

Kibet’s younger brother, Rony Kibet, was also located alive on Monday morning in Machakos.

In a statement made shortly after his release, Kibet mentioned that he chose to post on X to inform the public of his safety and his journey home.

“I found myself in Luanda around 3 am to 4 am. I sought a place to stay until morning for my safety, as I was unfamiliar with the area,” he explained.

He also indicated that he would be reducing his activity on social media.

On the same day, two additional youths who had reportedly been abducted in December were also released by their alleged captors.

This brought the total number of individuals released by alleged abductors to four.

The families of Billy Mwangi, Peter Muteti, and Bernard Kavuli reported that their loved ones had made contact with them.

Mwangi and Muteti were able to reunite with their families in person.

Authorities confirmed that Rony was found in Machakos County, while Bernard Kavuli, who had been taken from Ngong, was located in Kitale.

They were reportedly having difficulty reaching their families.

Peter Muteti was discovered in Nairobi’s central business district, where witnesses noted he appeared disoriented and was recovering at home.

Human rights activists organized a protest on Monday, January 6, to condemn abductions and forced disappearances.

Police were deployed to various locations to manage the potential protests.
