Tuju reportedly went missing for two days after his family raised alarm over his sudden disappearance on Saturday.
The incident was reported to the police, triggering concern and speculation about what could have transpired during that period.
His unexpected return only deepened the mystery, with many Kenyans questioning the circumstances surrounding the ordeal.
Among those who weighed in on the matter is Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna, who openly criticized the government while reacting to the incident.

Speaking on Monday, March 23, Sifuna expressed concern over what he described as a troubling pattern in how disputes are handled.
According to the outspoken senator, the Tuju saga could be linked to broader issues involving the use of force in resolving commercial disagreements.

He alleged that such incidents point to a worrying trend under President William Ruto’s administration.
“We must all be gravely concerned about this Tuju situation. You may say it’s a private matter, but it is a continuation of ‘mambo ni Matatu’ way of solving private and commercial disputes. We have a rogue regime that deploys dark arts to force outcomes in commercial disputes,” Sifuna claimed.
His remarks, however, have not gone unchallenged. A section of Kenyans has pushed back against the senator’s claims, questioning the basis of his allegations and urging caution when addressing sensitive matters.
On social media, reactions have been mixed. Some Kenyans argued that there are still many unanswered questions surrounding Tuju’s disappearance and that leaders like Sifuna are right to demand accountability.
Others, however, criticized the senator, suggesting that he was rushing to conclusions without sufficient evidence. A number of users dismissed his statements as political rhetoric, with some accusing him of seeking attention.
“He did not involve anyone when he was taking the loan,” one Kenyan commented, hinting at the possibility of a private dispute behind the incident.
“Politicians are very crafty; it is hard to know what to believe about them,” another added.
A more critical voice stated, “This is how Sifuna is losing it. Nothing new, it’s the same style,” reflecting growing skepticism among some members of the public.
