Abdulkarim Mohammed, popularly known for his stage name as C’zars, disappeared on the afternoon of October 13, 2006. The ‘Amka Ukatike’ hit maker and teen sensation had left his dad’s Mombasa Bamburi home for a walk and that was the last time his family ever heard of him or set eyes on him.
C’zars was on record as one of the youngest music superstars in Kenya. He won the second Pure Oxygen Jam music competition in August 2003 at age 14. In April 2004, he bagged two awards in the Chaguo La Teeniez awards and bagged another one in 2005.
With just a week left to sit for his National Exams, many speculated that “exam fever” sent him to hiding, claims which the family disputed. Despite the frantic search by friends and family, their effort has failed to bear fruit, 15 years down the line.
