<\/div>John Masika Wafula disappeared in November 2021.<\/strong> [Courtesy]\n<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n A\u00a0family\u00a0in Kitale is living in\u00a0agony\u00a0following the mysterious disappearance of a 60-year-old man who worked at the National Museum of Kenya in Kitale more than two months ago.\n<\/p>\n John Masika Wafula, who was a senior staffer at NMK, is said to have gone missing in November last year. The\u00a0family\u00a0said he had been suffering from arthritis for the past two years. <\/p>\n According to his wife Joy Azenga, Wafula was picked by a boda boda<\/em> whose identity is unknown from their home in Kibomet.\n<\/p>\n Azenga told the Standard<\/em> before the disappearance her husband encountered severe and unbearable pains on his legs.<\/p>\n “I was at work that day, my husband left home to an unknown place. Since then, we have not been able to trace him,” said Azenga, a mother of four.\n<\/p>\n On the material day, Wafula reportedly sent the housemaid to look for a boda boda<\/em> rider unknown in the area to drop him somewhere.\n<\/p>\n “When I returned home and found my husband was not around. I inquired from the maid his whereabouts, she told me early in the day, he had instructed her to go and look for a boda boda <\/em>rider who is not known around the area,” she said. <\/p>\n Azenga said that her husband was complaining of severe pains before he left home.\n<\/p>\n “Before he went missing, he had complained that he is tired of life due to the severe pains,” She added.\n<\/p>\n Azenga said, Wafula was under medication and there were plans to have him undergo a cancer test.\n<\/p>\n “My husband experienced severe pains despite taking drugs, and we were planning to take him to undergo a cancer test,” she said.\n<\/p>\n She said after his disappearance, the\u00a0family\u00a0has made unfruitful journeys searching for him after reporting the matter at Kitale police station. <\/p>\n “We have searched in morgues in Kitale, Bungoma and Eldoret towns in vain. We are undergoing terrible times,” said Azenga during an interview.\n<\/p>\n Police tracked Wafula’s movement using phone signals to Eldoret town, but nothing has since yielded fruits.\n<\/p>\n The\u00a0family\u00a0said they are desperately looking for their kin and urged the rider who picked him up from home to come out and help them trace him.\n<\/p>\n “We are appealing to the boda boda <\/em>rider who picked my husband from home to surface and he help us trace him. His disappearance is giving is sleepless nights,” she added.\n<\/p>\n Kitale OCPD Patrick Loborio, said they’re investigating the disappearance.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Source: The Standard Media Kenya<\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" John Masika Wafula disappeared in November 2021.
