School principal goes missing in Kirinyaga

According to the principal’s family members, Sebastian Njiru Gikunju, 56, who is the principal of Olokurto Secondary School in Narok North sub-county has been missing since Tuesday last week.

Mr. Gikunju’s wife Anne said the teacher told the family he was going to Meru County for the Narok North Sub-county principal conference and has not been reached since.

Anne, who is also a teacher at a nearby secondary school, said her husband passed at their home in Mutithi village before he told them he was going to Meru.

“He came with another vehicle and told us his vehicle had an accident and he left it in a garage,” Anne said.

Mwea West Sub-county police commander Wilson Koskei said a network signal tracing showed the principal never left Mwea town before his phone went off last Wednesday.

The police boss said detectives have launched investigations and the matter has been reported to police in Narok, Meru and Kirinyaga counties.
