The dilemma facing terror returnees

What you need to know:

  • Festus Kisinga's body was found rotting in a bush.
  • His family says intelligence officers in government vehicles had driven into the home, just two days after Kisinga had reported his return with them and had been cleared.

Nobody knows where Festus Kisinga, 34, went. Nobody knows whether he is dead or alive. But his family knows they have become enemies of the State ever since their son escaped the grip of Al-Shabaab terrorists only to be picked by unknown people and disappear – this time for good.

Shortly after Kisinga escaped from the terrorist group, the first to arrive at their home in Hola, Tana River, were unfamiliar men believed to be Al-Shabaab agents. They interrogated the family on the whereabouts of Kisinga and when they could not get answers, they took away the man of the house. He was later found slaughtered, his body rotting in a bush.
