On March 22, 2026, Raphael Tuju was reported missing in Karen, Nairobi, Kenya. This alarming development follows the earlier disappearance of his aide, Stephen Mwanga, who was last seen on March 19, 2026, at Yaya Centre.
Tuju’s vehicle was discovered abandoned on Miotoni Lane with its hazard lights activated, raising concerns about his safety. The police have since launched an investigation, deploying a specialized team to look into the circumstances surrounding both Tuju’s and Mwanga’s disappearances.
Prior to his disappearance, Tuju was involved in an eviction incident at Dari Business Park on March 21, 2026. This incident may hold significance, although the connection between the eviction and his subsequent disappearance has not been established.
Mwanga’s family reported his disappearance to the authorities on March 23, 2026, expressing deep concern for his well-being. Amos Mwanga, a family member, stated, “We are deeply worried and just want help to find Stephen.” Meanwhile, Mildred Mwanga clarified that Stephen is not merely a driver for Tuju but serves as a personal assistant and aide, often accompanying him on personal errands.
As of now, Mwanga’s phone lines have been off since Saturday afternoon, adding to the family’s distress. The police are actively investigating both cases, but details remain unconfirmed.
Tuju has been embroiled in a protracted legal battle involving a commercial bank and private business interests, which may add layers of complexity to the investigation. The current state of both cases remains uncertain, and the community is left anxious as they await further updates.
