• Initially hesitant about her daughter's move, Nyambura eventually supported the decision as their financial challenges deepened

Jane Nyambura was leading a sorry life when her eldest daughter decided to drop out of school as a hotelier and sought greener pastures in Qatar to elevate her mother's situation.

Why did Nyambura's daughter go to Qatar?

Initially, Nyambura was not of the idea of her daughter leaving the country, but when things became challenging, she saw it was good for her to go and work.

Speaking to TUKO.co.ke Nyambura said she put things together so that her daughter could go to the Middle East in December 2020, where she worked as a nail technician.

"Hio 2020 December, alikua tu sawa, tulikua tunaonge, alikua sawa, then tukaingia 2021, she was still okay, alikua tu ananipangia mazuri," recounted Nyambura.

According to Nyambura, when he daughter left the country, she was pregnant with her second child, and her first daughter would even chip in to help her provide for the child as its father had abandoned Nyambura.

Even before she completed her first contract, Nyambura's daughter thought of renewing it so she could work for four years before returning home.

Daughter is determined to support mum financially

According to her, she wanted to clear their rent arrears before she completed a house they were building in Utawala, where she moved in in August 2021, as per the agreement she had with her daughter.

Everything was going well until Nyambura received a phone call in Janury 2022, at around 4a from her daughter.

To her surprise, Nyambura's daughter had travelled back to the country a day before and was stranded in Nairobi CBD after her efforts to find a way to Uganda hit a wall.

They agreed that her daughter would go home that night, and she used a boda boda after she failed to get a taxi.

"Alikua ameisha, mimi nilimwona mpaka nikastuka. Nilikua na mayai hapa kwa nyumba nikampikia, maziwa nilikua nayo nikampatia, nikamwambia alale, but halali, ni stories tu, zingine ata sielewi," shared Nyambura.

Nyambura's daughter develops strange behaviour

That night, the daughter did not go to sleep, and Nyambura noticed something was not okay with her daughter.

A week later, renowned prophet Ezekiel Owour was visiting Jacaranda grounds in Embakasithe when she decided to take her daughter for prayers.

Despite the prayers, Nyambura's daughter insisted on going to Uganda for special prayers, and that desire saw her escape from home several times before Nyambura caught up with her.

One day, with her sisters visiting, Nyambura's daughter left once again, insisting she wanted to go to Uganda so she could attend church on Saturday as it was already Friday, but the daughter they were blocking her from seeking help for the entire family.

Nyumbura's daughter deported from Uganda

When asked how she wanted to go to Uganda, the young lady insisted she would take a flight. After several back-and-forths, Nyambura and her sisters decided to let her go.

Nyambura's daughter left the country that night, and on arrival in Uganda, she was not allowed to leave the airport after airline staff noticed she had a problem.

Stranded in a foreign country, Nyambura had to find ways to bring her daughter back home, but her daughter had become very hostile and did not want strangers approaching her.

Nyambura's daughter stayed at the airport in Entebbe for three years while hiding from authorities before she was found and flown back home.

Since then, Nyambura has been unable to find help for her daughter.

In a separate story, TUKO.co.ke reported a heartbroken young lady opened up about the agony her family members caused her.
