Ato Taye Dandaa Released from Detention and Reunites with Family











Former State Minister for Peace, Ato Taye Dandaa, was released from the Criminal Investigation Center in Mexico at noon, as confirmed by his wife, Ms. Ntayehu Alemayehu, during an interview with Deutsche Welle.

Ms. Sentayehu explained that earlier in the day, the family had brought food for Mr. Taye and confirmed his safety. They were then informed of the decision to release him from the detention center. He was finally home by 1:00 PM.

Last Monday, December 04, 2024, Mr. Taye was released from Kilinto Prison at 5:00 PM Ethiopian time. However, security forces reportedly intercepted him at the prison gate and transferred him to an undisclosed location, later identified as the Mexican Criminal Investigation Center.

The family expressed confusion over why he was moved to the Criminal Investigation Center.

When Deutsche Welle inquired about the matter, Federal Police Spokesperson Mr. Jeilan Abdi stated yesterday evening that the police had no information regarding the situation.
