The missing man briefly visited John in Dandora before asking to return to Kitengela, where he claimed he was living with his girlfriend.
Not long after that, Frankline went silent, his phone was switched off, and he never reached out again.
Attempts to call his previous number have been futile. The line is now registered under a different user, who says she purchased it from Safaricom long after Frankline disappeared.
Frankline Nganyi's mother fell sick
His parents, Humprey Nganyi and Judith Eshiwani, who now live in Uganda, have been left heartbroken and desperate for answers.
Judith, his mother, says she has developed stress-related illnesses due to the emotional toll of not knowing where her son is.
“I have always wondered what happened to my son. He just left home, and from that day, he has never called me or his father to tell us where he is,” she said tearfully.
Frankline’s father echoed her sentiments, adding that it has been seven years and they do not know where their son is.
