According to his wife, Scholastica Achieng Odhiambo, Maricus was involved in a hit-and-run motorcycle accident.
How Maricus Owino disappeared
In a missing person’s post on Facebook, Achieng disclosed that her husband sustained a head injury in the incident that occurred near Kisumu Boys Gate, next to Aga Khan Hospital.
Good Samaritans rushed him to Kisumu County Referral Hospital at around 6:37 pm., but he reportedly did not receive medical attention after an argument ensued between the hospital staff and those who brought him in.
The acquaintances later contacted the family, saying Maricus had requested to be taken to Aga Khan Hospital instead.
However, instead of proceeding there, they reportedly placed him in a Kibos Route 7-11 matatu and instructed the conductor to drop him off at Kamakaa Stage along Kibos Road.
He never arrived home and has not been seen since.
Maricus Owino’s outfit on last day
At the time of his disappearance, Maricus was wearing a maroon printed shirt, jeans, black sneakers, and a navy-blue cap. He had no phone or identification documents with him.
The family is pleading with anyone who may have information about his whereabouts to contact the police, the Kenya Red Cross, or reach them directly at +254734668799.
“We just want to know where he is. It’s been days of agony, and every minute counts,” said his distraught wife, Scholastica.
Authorities and the community have since joined hands in the search for the missing teacher as concerns grow over his safety and well-being.

Kenyans react to missing teacher’s case
Ivy Kach
“Hiyo part ya anapelekwa Aga Khan then wanamweka kwa gari doesn’t make sense. And kama mwalimu alikuwa anaezaongea, mbona hawakumwomba contacts za familia to come and give the details kwa hosi if they couldn’t?”
Nixon Wambo
“His friends and the conductor who was to drop him plus the driver of that matatu should help.”
Samson Okeyo
“I hope and pray for him to be found alive. The nurse who failed to attend to someone involved in accident should be charged and sacked from that profession.”
Princes Raws
“Why did they take him away? They should have left him in the hospital. So sad. We pray that you reunite with him soon.”
