How the search for the missing child in Nairobi ended
The discovery of the body in the mortuary at Mother Lucy's hospital confirmed her worst fears as she spent weeks searching for the whereabouts of her 25-year-old son, who disappeared in June at the height of protests against the money bill.
Adero was going about his business when he received a call from his home to inform him about the body of Charles Odero in the mortuary.
“I received a phone call that my son had died and he was lying in the mortuary at the Mother Lucy Kibaki hospital,” The Nation quoted him as saying.
However, even when he met his son's dead body, there were more and more questions about the circumstances of his death.
The angry father seemed to question why the body would be placed in the morgue, but he had been there before and could not find it.
“I've been here five times since the 30th, asking questions. Why couldn't they have told me earlier that the person I was looking for was here the whole time? Why keep me in the dark?” he put.
A father asks tough questions after his son's death
Adero disclosed that his son went missing on June 25, and then five days later, he fell ill at the Mother Lucy Hospital, where he died.
He learned that the body was lying in the mortuary, and he was not informed even after visiting there during the search.
Odero sought answers, hinting that her son's death was not normal.
As TUKO.co.ke previously reported, the grieving father of three revealed that he tried to discourage his son from joining the protest.
He went through police stations, morgues and hospitals but could not find him.
What is Yusuf's request to the government?
Before discovering his son's body, the grieving father said that it was not fair that many parents were suffering searching for their children after the terrible protests.
He called on the relevant authorities to let them know if their children have died so that they can continue, questioning the government's commitment to find them.
Joseph has found comfort for some families who went around different parts of the country in search of their lost children.
