Kenyan authorities are investigating the disappearance of Tob Cohen, a 71-year-old Dutch millionaire who went missing on July 20, 2019.

Cohen, a former CEO of Phillips East Africa, had been embroiled in a series of legal battles, including a divorce case against his estranged wife, Sarah Wairimu Kamotho, and a fight over a multi-million-shilling property.

According to his wife, Cohen told her he was taking a break to seek medical treatment and avoid lawyers who were pushing him for money.

However, his workers claim he left his high-security compound on July 20 at around 2pm, carrying only a briefcase and driven off in a white car.

Ms Wairimu told the Nation on Thursday evening that her husband had not returned home since his disappearance.
