Two children missing after boarding Lucky Summer matatu three weeks ago

The family of two minors who vanished after boarding a Public Service Vehicle (PSV) en route to their home in Lucky Summer, Baba Dogo area, is calling for help to find them.

Three weeks have passed, and the whereabouts of the minors remain unknown. The situation has left their grandmother battling hypertension and forced her to halt her daily activities in search of the minors.

Juneida Ashuma, aged three, and Ketra Alisi, aged ten, have both been missing for the last three weeks without a trace.

Their grandmother and Juneida’s mother are visibly distraught over the disappearance of the two minors, with their photos serving as painful reminders of the moments before they went missing.

Catherine Otindo, their grandmother, said: “Msichana anaitwa Ketra miguu yake yote mbili iko na hitilafu, mguu ya right ilifanywa operation iko na chuma na left ilichomeka akiwa mdogo ni kiwete kabisa."

Their mother Josphine Otindo, stated: "Walikuwa wanatoka Jamia kukula chipo na Ketra mguu ilikuwa inamuuma ikabidi waweke Ketra na Juneida kwa matatu wakuje home wengine wakuje kwa miguu, vile walifika hapa kuuliza shosho wakaambiwa watoto bado hawajafika.”

After filing a report at the Lucky Summer Police Station, the last matatu they boarded was traced but the driver denied ever seeing the two children.

"Kesho yake gari ikaonekana kwa stage saile walienda kuuliza driver mimi mwenyewe nilikuwa hapa kwa nyumba sasa pressure ilikuwa imenipanda nikaletewa number plate ya gari na number ya driver…driver akanijibu akaniambia yeye saa ile mtu anasema shukisha, anashukisha haangaliangi mtu anashukia wapi,” Catherine added.

Their efforts to locate Ketra and Juneida have reached a dead end.

"Tumeenda Kibera, tumetafuta Dandora, sides za Zimmerman, Kariobangi, Mathare na Kiamaiko," stated Josphine.
