Kibet, who had been missing for two weeks, announced his safe return on Monday, January 6, 2025, through a post on social media.
The young man was kidnapped shortly after meeting the senator kiss Okiya Omtatah in Nairobi.
His family confirmed his return to Nakuru after his release on Monday morning, while Kibet explained that he was dumped in Luanda, Vihiga county, around 3 to 4 am.
He mentioned that after being abandoned, he attended a local “disco matanga” (funeral eve) before booking a bus ticket back home.
Kibet's release came hours after his brother, Rony Kiplangat, was also released. Kiplangat had reportedly been given a bus fare by his captors before being dropped off in Machakos at three in the morning.
