A family in Ruthiruini, Kiambu county, is appealing for help to find their 14-year-old daughter, June Murugi Kimani.

Her mother, Elsie Njambi, told that June left home at around 7pm on June 5 after returning from St Anthony School Mugumo, where she studies.

“She came home after school and just left, never to return. It was a small issue — she wasn’t supposed to carry juice to school, but she did,” said the worried mother.

Njambi explained that June’s teacher told her they would report the matter to her parents, and she must have been scared and decided to leave.

She added that June didn’t inform them about the incident at school. She simply got home, changed clothes, and left shortly afterwards.

“The school had already called us and said she had juice in school. So when she got home, we told her that her teacher had called and warned against carrying juice — and then she left,” Njambi explained.

The young girl was last seen wearing a red Manchester United jersey and red shorts. She also has braces on her teeth.

Her devastated mother is urging anyone who has seen her daughter to report to the nearest police station or contact her directly on 0726 708 734 (Elsie Njambi), or reach her father on 0710 421 348 (Samuel Njoro).

Kenyans online have expressed sympathy and offered prayers for her safe return.

Rahab Ndungu:

“Wherever you are, June, just know your parents and siblings are very worried about your whereabouts and safety, girl. Please go back home and be safe.”

Mary Stephens:

“Come back home, my daughter. May my good God protect you wherever you are.”

Jane Nyoike:

“It’s very traumatising for the family, especially since she’s a young girl. May God protect her.”

Mercy Hirum:

“May the good Lord guide her from all evil plans of the enemy, in Jesus' name. May the power of God locate her wherever she is. May her enemies be scattered in seven directions right now, in Jesus’ mighty name. Beautiful girl, come back home safe in Jesus’ name. You are covered by the blood of Jesus Christ. And to all those going through the same, may the Lord God intervene. Amen and amen.”
