A family from Kegati, Nyaribari Chache constituency in Kisii County has called on police officers to help find their missing loved one.
It is alleged that the missing person identified as Dennis Nyaoko aged 45 years old went missing one week ago after a quarrel with his wife.
Steve Tong'i who is Nyaoko's brother-in-law reported that Nyaoko left at his shop in Birongo shopping center after he threatened to throw himself into a river.
"Nyaoko had a disagreement with his wife before he threatened to end his life. He locked his shop and left to unknown place until today," said Tong'i.
Mr Tong'i said the family has searched for him everywhere in vain.
"He had contacted his daughter who is a nurse and told him that we should find his body in river Sondu. We are unable to reach him on phone," he added.
He appealed to police officers to help the family in searching Nyaoko.
According to Tong'i, the family is hopeful that the Nyaoko will be found alive.
Area police boss James Muthoka said a search is ongoing to find the missing man.
