Paul Topf, a 54-year-old German retired soldier, has been missing since November 26, 2019, from his Lunga Lunga home in Kwale County, Kenya.
According to his wife, Neema Nyawira, 25, Topf was picked up by four men and a woman claiming to be immigration officials and deported to Germany, where he arrived safely eight days later.
However, phone signal records contradict Nyawira's statement, showing that Topf's mobile phone signal was last tracked to Mwabao Village in Shimoni area, near the border with Tanzania.
DCI detectives suspect that Nyawira is not telling the truth and have contacted the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to help investigate her allegations and unravel the mystery surrounding Topf's disappearance.
Topf arrived in Kenya in 2012 and exchanged wedding vows with Nyawira, with whom he shares a 3-year-old daughter.
As of now, the police are actively investigating Topf's disappearance and following crucial leads to establish his whereabouts.
