Family of the EABL Employee Speak

Lilian’s uncle, George Njuguna, revealed that the family was working closely with her employer and making arrangements to transfer her to Nairobi for further medical care.

According to her family, she appeared weak and disoriented and requested the station attendants to contact her mother.

The 28-year-old travelled to her mother’s home on Saturday, December 21, to celebrate the festive season but went missing soon after.

After a calm weekend, she left the family compound for what seemed like a brief evening walk on December 23.

How Lilian Nyambura Mbugua Went Missing

When she didn’t return, her family grew worried, especially after realizing she had left behind her phones, car keys, and other personal items.

“She looked like she was just going for a casual walk around the estate since she was still wearing her headscarf and slippers,”

“Her mother was busy with house chores in the backyard at the time,” said George Njuguna. 

The family reported her disappearance to the Gikono police post and the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) in Kenol.

The investigation initially faced challenges due to the lack of traceable devices or a vehicle. However, police later learned that Lilian had made three phone calls on the evening of December 28.

Her family explained that she was quiet and reserved and seemed slightly tired before she went missing.
