Francis Oyaro, an intelligence officer attached to the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) has caused panic to his family after going missing without a trace for close to a month now.
His wife, Veronica Osore, said she last spoke to Oyaro on August 28, when he was on his way back to Nakuru from Marsabit National Park where he is posted.
The detective however did not make it home and his phone went unanswered two days after the call.
Veronica said, "He left in the morning at around 7 am and informed me he was approaching Nanyuki. I expected him home at 6pm, he did not show up."
She added that since then, she has tried to trace her husband through his colleagues and the police but her efforts have been futile.
The missing 45-year-old's immediate boss, Kitavi Kaloki, told Veronica that he was shocked that Oyaro had not arrived home, adding that he had granted the detective a few days off as he had requested.
According to Kaloki, Oyaro hiked a lift on a KWS vehicle that had a driver and two other female colleagues.
The other occupants who safely arrived in Nairobi claimed that the officer alighted the vehicle at Nanyuki.
Another person in Nanyuki claiming to know Oyaro personally insisted he spotted him in the town.
However, he narrated, “They snatched his phone. He asked them to explain why they were trailing him yet they had met the previous day. They took his bag and led him into their car."
According to the anonymous caller, as they were a matatu heading to Nakuru, they were flagged down at Naro Moru by people dressed in civilian clothes whom he believed were known to the detective.
The people who were in a black saloon car ordered Oyaro to alight after flagging the matatu they were in.
According to Marsabit National Park senior warden John Wambua, the matter was reported to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) and investigations are underway.
