A family in Nakuru County has petitioned the Inspector General of Police Joseph Boinnet to help them find their missing son, Alfred Cheruiyot, 38, who disappeared on May 6.
Cheruiyot’s sister Sophie Koskey said they shopped together at Ukwala Supermarket on the fateful day before he excused himself to meet his colleagues who kept calling him on phone.
“Alfred informed me that we could not go home together after shopping and said he was going to meet his four colleagues who were waiting for him at Mid-Rift Bar and Restaurant,” said Koskey.
After failing to show up that evening, they tried to reach him through his two mobile numbers but were both out of reach.
“His Safaricom line signal was traced to Thika the following day at around 2pm,” his wife Jackline said.
His colleagues, who were last seen with him, have recorded statements, and family has never heard any report from police officers despite reporting it to various stations.
“It is unfortunate and it seems something is being hidden from the family. The story about how he disappeared is not adding up,” Rhoda, Alfred’s mother said.
Nakuru DCIO Henry Kiambati said they have been looking for and tracing his mobile phone signal, which he confirmed was switched off immediately he went missing.
