Kenyan businessman Gor Semelango has posted a video of himself on Instagram for the first time since reports of his detention in Dubai emerged, showing the city’s skyline in the background.
The post marks his first publicly visible update since October 2025, ending weeks of silence that had sparked concern among fans and followers.
According to reports, the businessman was held following a shareholding dispute in a Dubai-based business involving a Kenyan woman.
While commercial disputes in most countries are civil matters, Dubai law allows certain business disputes to be treated as criminal cases, which reportedly led to Semelango’s temporary incarceration.
Earlier, prominent Kenyan lawyer Donald B. Kipkorir, representing Semelango, publicly discussed the situation on X.
He explained that Semelango had been “incarcerated in Dubai over a club business shareholder dispute,” and appealed to Kenya’s Foreign Affairs officials to intervene.
Kipkorir noted that Dubai’s legal system can escalate commercial disagreements into criminal matters under certain circumstances, emphasizing the complexity of the case.
Following his detention, Semelango secured bail and was released from custody, though he was reportedly not allowed to leave the UAE while the case remains unresolved.
The Instagram video posted by Semelango shows him outdoors with the Dubai skyline visible in the background. While the clip does not feature any spoken statements, it is notable as the first visual confirmation of his well-being since the detention reports. The post also marks a return to social media activity after weeks of silence, during which speculation about his status was circulating online.
Gor Semelango is a Kenyan businessman and entrepreneur, known for his involvement in various investment ventures both in Kenya and abroad.
He has previously been associated with high-profile business dealings and is a recognized figure in Kenya’s corporate and social circles.
Semelango has a notable social media presence, which he has used to share aspects of his lifestyle and business activities.
His public profile has drawn attention during legal and financial developments, including his recent detention in Dubai related to a business dispute.
This development comes amid ongoing legal proceedings in Dubai. Media reports continue to follow the case closely, focusing on the legal process, interactions with diplomatic channels, and Semelango’s current presence in the UAE.
While the post provides a glimpse of him, no further details regarding the resolution of the Dubai case have been made public.
