Government officials ordered to produce seven social media influencers who disappeared in December .

Five suddenly reappeared in early January at various locations across the country.

Police and government deny kidnapping and illegally detaining protesters.

Kenya has a history of state-sponsored abductions, and some Kenyans fear they are returning to that dark past.

Many are distressed that the apparently systematic disappearance of anti-government activists has resurfaced in this way, recalling similar methods under the authoritarian leadership of Daniel arap Moi in the 1980s and 1990s .

President William Ruto has publicly promised to stop the abductions, forced to respond to public outrage, and to concern from Western allies.
