Nairobi - A helpless mother is heartbroken following the disappearance of their daughter for over a week.

Christine Aoko vanished from home on Friday, December 29, 2023, in the morning hours after her mother made a request.

Emelda Auma Okoth, Aoko's mother, had asked her and her aunt to go to the shop, but she excused herself to the washroom.

How did Aoko vanish?

Speaking to TUKO.co.ke from Nakuru, Aoko's cousin Iddah Atieno, said Aoko stayed for a long time in the washroom, raising curiosity from the family.

"They were waiting for her in the house but she overstayed in the washroom. They decided to go look for her because the washrooms were outside. When they reached there, there was no sign of her. She had vanished without a trace," Otieno, whose sister resides in Mathare, Nairobi county said.

Since then, Auma's husband, Evance Odhiambo Okoth, has been moving from one police station to another, hoping to get help.

Atieno said there had been no leads or updates from over five police stations he had visited seeking help.

"There have been some information about the little girl's whereabouts but they are not concrete. There have been some intercessors who claimed she was taken by a younger lady but delivered to an elder lady. Apparently she wanted to take Aoko to another country but she did not tell us where she was.

Another one said there was a woman who had Aoko but because she is so busy, she did not find time to return her. All these have just led us with no hope. Her mum is devastated and confused," she said.

Why did a teen girl run away from home?

A few days ago, a Nairobi teen girl went missing after her mother requested her KSh 700 chama money.

Grace Njeri Ngugi said she had not seen or communicated with her teen daughter Virginia Wanjiru for days.

Wanjiru left home on Thursday, December 21, 2023, for her friend's place to fetch her mother Njeri's money.

However, she did not return home, and Njeri and her family have been looking for the 16-year-old girl since.
