His wife says she has not heard from her husband since 3 May

Fethullah Gülen s nephew Selahaddin Gulen was captured abroad and taken to Turkey. He was believed to be residing in Kenya, but the report does not specify where he was detained or when he was repatriated to Turkey. On May 20, in a video posted on social media, the captured man s wife stated that she had not heard from her husband since May 3, so this may have been the date of his arrest.
Selahaddin, reportedly wanted in Turkey on charges of membership of a terrorist organisation, was captured in an operation by the Turkish National Intelligence Agency (MIT). Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Turkey s president, announced in early May that a prominent member of Fethullah s network had been captured, but did not provide details. It is not known whether the MIT was assisted by the Kenyan government.
