A family in Nairobi’s Kitisuru estate is in distress after the abduction of 26-year-old Mercy Awuor.
She reportedly left home on November 4 to meet a potential employer, lured by what appeared to be a job offer.
That afternoon, her husband, Brian Andole, received a call from her, where she mentioned being forcibly taken and placed in a vehicle conceivably near a wildlife conservancy in Narok.
Later, a new call came from the abductors, demanding a Ksh 150,000 ransom and threatening to harm her if the money wasn’t paid.
Andole immediately reported the incident to Kitisuru Police Station.
After that, they directed him to Kabete Police Station, where he claims the officers were unhelpful and kept requesting bribes rather than offering assistance.
Even after he handed over critical information, including phone numbers, there was still no action.
Eventually, the Gigiri Police Station received his referral, but the lack of progress still frustrates him.
