TWITTER

On Sunday evening, after the news of Mr Msando's disappearance was revealed by IEBC chairman Wafula Chebukati, a Twitter user posted pictures of a sport utility vehicle purportedly parked at a flat in Roysambu, on the Thika Superhighway.

Tweeting as @hadja40, the woman posted: “So Msando is somewhere in Roysambu having a good time and they reported him missing.”

“Uncle ako poa (is ok),” she added

The tweet was accompanied by photos of a grey Land Rover but the Nation was unable to independently verify the authenticity of the images.

Mr Msando's family reported his disappearance at the Embakasi Police Station on Sunday.
