Douglas Ngumi spent six years and seven months locked up in immigration detention in the Bahamas.
He had gone abroad to work and support his family back home.
After his release he pursued legal action and reportedly won a settlement worth millions of shillings.
Ngumi says after legal fees and other costs he was left with about KSh 80 million.
He put the money into a joint account opened by his mother and sister.
This was before he returned to Kenya in September 2024.
Ngumi says he later found out the money had allegedly been withdrawn.
He claims it was used to buy property and other assets registered in the names of family members.
He also says he has been denied access to his late father's property.
He says he tried repeatedly to get answers from his own family and got nothing.
The matter has reportedly been referred to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations.
Ngumi says he now feels abandoned.
He says he came home with almost nothing after trusting the people closest to him.
