A family in Ebuayangu, Emuhaya Sub-County, Vihiga County, is appealing for government intervention to help trace their missing relative, Manase Ndakala, who has been missing for eight days under unclear circumstances.
The family says Ndakala, a police officer attached to Hobuyaya Police Camp, was last with his relatives on Friday before his whereabouts became unknown.
His disappearance has sparked anxiety among family members and residents, who are struggling to establish what happened to him.
According to information shared by the family and members of the community, Ndakala was reportedly last seen in Yala, although efforts to locate him have so far been unsuccessful.
The family says it learnt of his disappearance through his friends, prompting concern over his safety and a search for information that could help establish his whereabouts.
His mother, Florida Ayoma, has appealed to members of the public to assist the family in finding her son.
Ayoma said the family was yet to understand the circumstances surrounding his disappearance and urged anyone who might have information about his whereabouts to come forward.
The family is also calling on the government and relevant security agencies to intensify efforts to trace the missing officer and establish what happened to him.
Emuhaya Sub-County Police Commander George Opere Ongozi confirmed the incident, saying investigations were ongoing.
The circumstances surrounding Ndakala’s disappearance remain unclear as the family awaits answers from investigators.
Anyone with credible information that could help trace Ndakala is urged to report it to the nearest police station.
