Family In Agony After Fourth-Year UoN Student’s Disappearance
As examples of forced disappearances continue to occur throughout the country, the family of a University of Nairobi fourth-year student is requesting government involvement following their son’s abduction.
Daniel Kamau, an Engineering student, is reported to have gone missing while on his way home from school.
According to the family, Kamau was last seen on February 6, 2025, near Feruz on Kangundo Road.
Since then, his family has been devastated while hunting for him, with the last trace of his phone indicating he was in Kamulu before it was turned off.
The family is in limbo, unsure whether Kamau has been abducted or has simply gone missing.
Attempts to report his disappearance to the police have failed, and he has been gone for more than five days.

“We realised his phone was traced around the Kamulu Antelope Avenue Area,” Joel Mwangi, Kamau’s brother revealed.
“We managed to mobilize some people who had gone around the area since Thursday evening trying to trace him with no help.”
With tears in their eyes, uncertainties, and only a ray of hope, the family is now asking the authorities and well-wishers to assist them in locating Kamau, a son they describe as kind and responsible.
His university classmates have also urged the government and security forces in the country to assist in the search for Kamau, as his disappearance has caused tensions.
Kamau’s family has joined the long list of those still searching for their missing loved ones.
Just a week ago, Justice Nangea of the Nakuru Law Court left Brian Odhiambo’s family in tears and forlorn.
This came after she dismissed his complaint, stating that there was no evidence to indicate Brian had been detained by KWS police.
As a result, he refrained from issuing any more instructions in the case, leaving the family in limbo.
