Mildred Odira, an employee with the Nation Media Group (NMG) who went missing on 29th January 2019 has been found dead.

The body of Mildred was found at the City Mortuary, Nairobi, after desperate search efforts by her family and friends.

Maureen Anyango confirmed the shocking news saying that “Millie is no more, we have found her at the City Mortuary.”

Mildred worked as a switchboard operator and was last seen on Tuesday morning, by Guards at her home in Kariobangi South, boarding a taxi to Ruaraka Uhai Neema to seek treatment.

Maureen says that they found out that she was not home after Mildred’s son went to her house where they live in Kariobangi South on Tuesday morning yet it was a school day.

“We saw her son come to our house in the morning and we asked him why he had not gone to school, he then informed us that her mother had left very early in the morning and that is when we started inquiring about her whereabouts,” Maureen explained.

Maureen adds that they could not reach, Mildred, also her elder sister, through her mobile phone as it was off.

Mildred’s sister, Maureen, explained that they had visited a number of hospitals searching for Odira but their efforts bore no fruit.

Her family revealed that Mildred had recently been diagnosed with diabetes, hypertension, and ulcers.

On Saturday, police arrested the taxi driver who had driven Mildred to the hospital over suspicions that he may be hiding crucial information that could unravel her death.

The driver told her family that he took Mildred to the health facility and left soon after despite the CCTV footage revealing that the cab driver entered the hospital’s gate and exited soon after without dropping any passenger.

The Ruaraka Uhai Neema Hospital, administrators also said they had no record of Mildred Odira being admitted at their facility.

The incident was reported at Kasarani police station where the taxi operator is being held as they help with investigations.
