The post stated that Masengeli was at Mandera Police Station meeting with NPS officers after first stopping in Wajir.
" IG, who is accompanied by DCI Mr. Mohamed I. Amin and Commandant GSU, Mr. Ranson Lolmodooni, SAIG, is conducting a security assessment of the operational areas including Wajir, Mandera, and Garissa Counties this week following the recent probing attacks in the security camps," the statement read in part.
Kenyans appeared frustrated because the acting IG was conducting security assessments despite having six court summons.
On Monday, September 9, Masengeli was required to appear in court to explain the circumstances surrounding the disappearance of three people in Kitengela.
However, the police boss sent DIG Kenya Police Service Eliud Lagat to represent him, saying he was in Wajir handling security matters.
Kelvin Kusienya:
"He's in contempt of court orders. Arrest and produce him in court."
Beutah Maroko:
"He ignores court orders, but you can publicly mention events he is attending? Ipo siku …"
Gov Drill:
"Masengeli is still ignoring court orders."
Cute:
"He should be in court."
James Laban 20:
"Can't he go to court and provide answers about the missing Kenyans?"
Gabriel Oguda (Fan Account).
"He is a wanted ... ! Arrest him asap."
Misente mtoto:
"He is needed in court please, remind him."
In a separate incident, Masengeli was found guilty of disobeying court orders.
In a ruling on Monday, September 9, High Court Judge Lawrence Mugambi said impunity and open defiance would not be allowed, and those hell-bent would not find refuge.
Mugambi ruled that Masengeli had continued to hold the court at ransom after he failed to honour the six court summons.
The judge argued that the court could no longer ascertain what could have happened to the petitioners because of the acting IG's action.
