The family of Ronny Kiplangat is breathing a sigh of relief after the young man was discovered alive in Machakos County, nearly two weeks after he went missing on Christmas Day, December 25, 2024.
Kiplangat’s disappearance raised alarms among his loved ones and the local community, who feared he had been abducted.
On the morning of January 6, 2025, Kiplangat made a phone call to his family, confirming that he had been released and was safe in Machakos.

The situation was particularly distressing as his brother, Kibet Bull, had also gone missing under mysterious circumstances, leaving the family in a state of heightened worry.
Authorities were notified and had initiated efforts to locate both brothers, but while Kiplangat’s return offers a glimmer of hope, Kibet Bull’s fate remains uncertain. The community’s concern had grown amidst widespread speculation about their disappearances.
The circumstances surrounding Kiplangat’s abduction and subsequent release are still unclear. However, his family has expressed deep gratitude for his safe return and appreciates the support received from the community and local authorities during this challenging time. They remain hopeful for more information regarding the events that led to his disappearance.
This incident has reignited discussions about the rising cases of abductions in the region and the urgent need for enhanced security measures to protect individuals from such crimes. As the family reunites with Ronny Kiplangat, he is expected to receive medical attention and undergo a debriefing to shed light on his ordeal.
