Aman who was thought to have been buried in Casey County three weeks ago has reappeared.

After Meshach Ondik Niampan, 28, returned to the Mokoro-Hazina slum in South Section B, Setareh District, the relatives, boda-boda drivers and other locals who led the mourners at his funeral were in disbelief.

Hundreds of local residents gathered outside the police station trying to get answers from the South B Assistant District Commissioner, Chief, Assistant Chief or South B Police personnel.

Residents forced their way through the crowd, excited to see what they described as a miracle, which made it difficult for the police officers to keep things under control.

Calm was restored upon the arrival of Judith Nyongisa, the Makadara Chief of Police, who was contacted by South Station Commander P Robert Mboye.

According to Ms. Nyongisa, the man, a boda-boda passenger, was arrested and jailed on February 14 for obstructing vehicles and other road users in the city centre.

It claimed that after being taken into custody by Askaris in the county and taken to the City Council Court, where he pleaded guilty to the charge, Mr Nyambane was sentenced to two months’ imprisonment.

And she continued: The man presented a document proving his guilt for a crime, served his sentence in prison, and was released from Ruero Prison.

Prior to his transfer to Ruiru Prison, Mr. Niyongesa served part of his sentence in Nairobi West Prison in Langata. After serving his full term, he claims he was released on Friday.

On Friday night, a man believed to have been buried in Kisii County three weeks ago reappeared, putting an end to business in a Nairobi slum.

Hundreds of citizens crowded into the police headquarters there, hoping for answers from the assistant commissioner of the South B district, the chief, the assistant chief, or the officers at the South B police station.
