A woman and her daughter from Chuka in Tharaka Nithi county have been reunited nine months after the former went missing and later found inside a national park.
Forty eight year-old Anesta Kageni went missing on November 31, 2018 and her family members had been searching for her all along.
After months of search, the family was informed that Kageni had been spotted in Tsavo West but they were not sure if she was the one, NTV reported.
They traveled to Voi Police Station but upon arrival, they were informed she had gone missing again.
On Wednesday, September 25, the family was called by the police and informed Kageni had been found.
"I was informed yesterday she had been found, I would not wait until morning. I started another journey to this police station and I found she was here," said the daughter, Carokine Kageni.
Voi police boss Bernastian Sharry said the woman was found in Tsavo West National Park and that she would have walked by herself from Chuka to the park.
"We were informed by the public about her presence in the park, we sent our police to go get him and when she was brought here, she appeared to have a mental problem," said Sharry.
However, according to the family, she was in good health and of sound mind at the time she went missing.
It is still not clear how she got herself in the park given the area is synonymous with missing bodies being retrieved from the wildlife conservancy.
