• Alice Wambui recalled requesting her son not to go to town on Tuesday, June 25, because of the chaotic anti-government protests
• The mother was worried when her son, Peter Macharia Njehia, who has gunshot wounds, failed to return home the following day
• The Nairobi mother has been searching for her 27-year-old son for three months since he vanished without a trace

Nairobi - It is about three months after the anti-government maandamano and a family is still hurt following the demos.

A woman has expressed concern as she has yet to reunite with her son following the demonstrations.

Alice Wambui said her son Peter Macharia Njehia has not returned home since leaving on Tuesday, June 25.

Wambui's last words to Macharia

She opened up about the challenges she experiences as a mum after not hearing from or seeing her child for a while.

"When he left home, I had asked him the previous day if it was possible for him not to go to town because of the demonstrations. On Tuesday morning, I forgot to remind him, but I had told him the previous day.

I was disturbed when he failed to return home the following day. Together with my friends, I started looking for him. We went to Kibera, where he frequently visited, then Kawangware and many other places before going to the police station," she told Citizen TV Kenya.

Peter Macharia Njehia treated at KNH

Wambui from Nairobi went to Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH), where she received information about her 27-year-old son.

"I was told he was brought by an ambulance and gave him first aid. He refused to enter the ward so he was discharged. When I heard he had gunshot wounds, I was confused. You cannot know if he went somewhere and was overwhelmed and fell along the road and died," she said.

The heartbroken mother asked for help from Kenyans to trace her son and reunite with him, having visited several hospitals and morgues with no results.

In another story, Edward, the second-born of Peter Amina, said his family was in shock and worry two months after he went missing.

The 36-year-old said his missing father left home on Thursday afternoon, July 18, in a brown outfit.

Speaking to TUKO.co.ke, Edward said the Kakamega father has an underlying medical condition that makes him forget things.
