A mother, travelling with her baby from Nairobi to Ukambani, experienced every parent’s worst nightmare.
After dozing off during the journey, she awoke to a heart-wrenching discovery – her seven-month-old baby, Briana Mutanu Kanini, was missing.
The distressing turn of events occurred on the morning of February 29, according to reports from Missing Child Kenya.
The mother boarded a matatu at Nairobi’s Country Bus Station, bound for Mutitu wa Ndoooa via Mwingi – Kitui.
However, her journey took a horrifying turn when she realized her baby was no longer with her.
Fellow passengers recalled seeing an unidentified woman disembark from the matatu at the Magogoni area along the Thika-Garissa Highway, carrying the baby.
In a swift response, the distraught mother immediately reported the incident to Magogoni Police Station, initiating a search for the missing infant.
Authorities have since intensified efforts to locate Briana, urging the public to come forward with any information that could assist in the search.
