A spokesperson for the SPLM-IO James Gatdet has been taken and has disappeared in Nairobi, Kenya, according to an opposition press release.

"James Gatdet was kidnapped this afternoon around 4:00 PM by unknown gunmen dressed in uniform who came to his house in Nairobi, Kenya. After picking him, his whereabouts is unknown up to this time as I am writing," a spokesperson for the opposition Dickson Gatluak said in a press statement.

Although it is not clear if the two are related, the alleged disappearance came after Gatdet shared a Facebook post criticizing the Kenyan U.N. force commander in South Sudan Lt-General Johnson Ondieki.

On Thursday, Kenya said it was going to withdraw its peacekeepers from the U.N. mission and pull out of the peace process to protest the sacking of Ondieki.
