Jane Njeri, a mother of Joseph Kang'ara, from Jua Kali estate, Kakamega County, is a parent in distress after an alleged enforced disappearance of her son a month ago by people believed to be military officers.

On August 28, 2025, Njeri had travelled with Kang'ara to attend her younger son's graduation from the 89th National Youth Service (NYS) pass-out parade in Gilgil, Nakuru County. However, her joy of watching her son graduate was short-lived and turned to despair.
