Hesbon Ochoki has not been seen at home for the past seven months, leaving his family in unprecedented pain.

The 27-year-old was in Nairobi county, where he had gone to work, when he went missing under unclear circumstances.

Which company was Ochoki working for?

Ochoki's mother's pain of not hearing from or seeing her son since 2024 is indescribable, as each day she makes an effort to find him.

"He went to Nairobi to look for money. I paid some money so he could get a job. He was working for G4S. We have walked the entire city looking for him. We have even put his picture everywher,e but we have not had any leads," a distraught Alice Nyaboke said.

She is a mum of four with Ochoki being her lastborn, and all she has are his clothes that she could cling onto in the hope that one day her son would return to her gracious arms.

What is Ochoki's mum's message to Ruto?

The family began to be traumatised on Monday, October 7, 2024, when Ochoki failed to show up at work.

It was not his custom to miss going to work, a sign that got the family worried as they tried to find out the issue.

"Ruto, what shall I do? Please help me. I am crying to you. Please help me. I have searched for him for seven months without avail," she painfully cried.

When was the last place Ochoki's phone was located?

Benius Ogega, Ochoki's brother, says they do not know where he was living, as they would have gone to inquire about him.

"Anyone who has a statement or lead, anyone to help us so we can find him," he pleaded.

They cannot get him on the phone as it is switched off, leaving them more worried about his disappearance.

Police investigations show the phone was last used in Kware, Mukuru Kwa Njenga, and since then there have been no updates.

Kilifi police officer David reached out to TUKO.co.ke, claiming Ochoki was found with a woman in her house.

He alleged since his missing, he had been living with the married woman until he was found by the woman's husband.

"The man is also a police officer stationed in Busia. He had been suspecting his wife that she was having an affair. When he returned to his home, he found Ochoki and beat him badly. He then called us and we took him to the hospital," he said.

Why did Ochoki's family sell valuable items?

The family noted their kin went missing immediately after he received his second salary.

Alfred Orengo, Ochoki's uncle, said they had tried all they could, but their efforts were in vain.

"We are stranded. We have not found an answer whatsoever. We have not gotten a breakthrough. We do not know what else we can do. He was studying until he got the job," he said.

The search has been a daunting task for the family, having sold most of their valuable items to fund their frequent trips to the metropolitan city, desperately searching for their son.
