Mother's desperate search for daughter snatched from her 45 years ago

For over 45 years, Julia Njeri has known no peace. Weird dreams, sleepless nights, long periods of depression are the order of the day. December 30, 1976, was the last time the 62-year-old resident of Kithurine in South Imenti, Meru saw her daughter Fatiah Ng’endo.

Seated outside her house at the predominantly tea-growing region of Nkuene Ward, Njeri said Fatiah was born out of an early relationship with a man she only identified as Ahmed. Njeri was in Baitigitu Primary School when the man, then 30 years old, got her pregnant.
