Questions Arise After 4-Year-Old is Abducted from School Grounds

Police in Kisii have launched investigations following the disappearance of a 4-year-old boy from Reinha Rosary School in Ogembo on Tuesday, October 8, 2024.

Nimrod Osiemo Baraka is said to have been abducted by a man who was seen wearing a mask, whisking the boy into a car before vanishing to an unknown destination.

Speaking to the media at Ogembo Police Station, the mother, Linet Kemunto, recounted how her son went missing.

Kemunto explained that her son was missing when his classmates were being picked up from school that day.

“When they finished class, they came to pick up their child as usual. Now, that day, they came to where the other children were standing, but they found that Nimrod was not there,” she said.

“It rained a lot, but I tried to look for him around the school and even in the toilets together with the teachers, but we didn’t find him.”

The family is now calling upon security agencies to investigate the abduction, as reported by his schoolmates.

How Nimrod was Picked

According to the mother, Nimrod’s classmates said he was picked up by a masked man driving a white car.

“The children had told the teachers that Nimrod had eaten but was later taken by an old man who was wearing a black mask and came with a white car up to the gate,” Kemunto said.

His father, Joram Osiemo, appealed to members of the public with vital information that can assist in the investigation to come forward and help them find their son.

“I am appealing to the general public, whoever has any information about the whereabouts of our son, kindly help us so that we can reunite as a family,” Joram said.
