Gaddhaffy-Dit, ambaye pia ni raia wa Kenya, alikamatwa na wanaume waliokuwa wamejihami na kufunika nyuso zao baada ya kutoka katika kasino iliyoko viungani mwa Nairobi mapema Juni. Mkewe aliripoti kutoweka kwake kwa polisi wakati huo, akitoa maelezo kutoka kwa mashahidi. Mwanaharakati wa Kenya, Boniface Mwangi, alisema Juni kwamba Gaddhaffy-Dit alimweleza Aprili kuwa alikuwa ametoa taarifa kuhusu madai ya ufisadi wa kiwango cha juu kuhusu serikali ya Sudan Kusini. Msemaji wa serikali ya Sudan Kusini Ateny Wek Ateny, hakujibu mara moja ombi la kutoa maoni kuhusu suala hilo.
