DCI: Woman Reported Missing Found at Husband’s Home

A case involving a missing woman took an unexpected twist when she was found safe at her husband’s home, turning a potentially serious situation into a comical social media topic.

The woman had been reported missing by her boyfriend, who sought police assistance to locate her. Investigations revealed she had staged her own “kidnapping” with her husband to extort Ksh150,000 from another boyfriend.

In a statement on Saturday, November 16, the National Police Service (NPS) detailed the plot, explaining how the woman and her husband faked the abduction. The scheme came to light after detectives traced the woman’s phone signal to Narok South, where she was found at her husband’s residence. Both were arrested and transported to Nairobi, where they could face charges, including providing false information to authorities under Section 129 of the Penal Code.

The story gained significant attention earlier in November when the woman’s husband appeared on television, sharing a suspicious account of her alleged disappearance after receiving a phone call. The case has sparked widespread debate online.
