Her son, Paul Charles Agesa, then a 24-year-old Computer Science student at Daystar University, vanished on February 20, 2022, and since that day, there has been no trace of him.
How Paul Agesa disappeared
Margaret told TUKO.co.ke that Paul had stepped out briefly from his university hostel to buy food. It was a routine errand, the kind thousands of students make every evening.

But this time, he never returned. When his roommate realised Paul had not come back, he alerted those around him, though he could not point to any signs of stress or unusual behaviour.
“Paul was quiet, an introvert by nature, and often kept his feelings to himself,” the distressed mother narrated.
Margaret remembers receiving the news with disbelief, imagining he would walk in at any moment. Instead, hours stretched into days.
The family rushed to report the matter at Athi River Police Station, where officers began searching for the young student.
Paul Agesa’s last phone signal
CCTV cameras that might have shown Paul’s last movements, however, were not working that day, a devastating gap in what could have been a crucial trail.
“The last signal from his phone showed him somewhere in Mavoko, but nothing more came of it,” Margaret stated.
As days turned to weeks, the case entered the public domain and appeared on media platforms. Still, no concrete leads emerged.
Now, as another year approaches, Margaret continues to hold on to the hope that has sustained her through every sleepless night.

Paul Agesa’s mother still hopeful
She speaks of Paul not in the past tense, but as her son who simply has not yet come home. She recalls his dreams of working in technology, his calm nature, and the pride she felt watching him pursue a future in computer science.
“We are still hopeful he will be found,” she says softly, a mother’s unwavering belief, even as time moves on around her.
For Margaret and her family, the search for Paul is far from over. Their plea remains the same: anyone who knows anything, however small, should come forward.
Until then, the family waits, with courage, with pain, and with an unbroken hope that one day they will embrace their son again.
Bomet man disappears after going out to buy food
Elsewhere, a 28-year-old man identified as Tito Kiprotich from Bomet, disappeared on November 17 after stepping out to buy supper.
Hezron Cheruiyot, his brother, told TUKO.co.ke that Tito worked as a shopkeeper at a shop in Chebole and had no known problems with anyone.
He called on anyone with information about his brother’s whereabouts to report it to the nearest police station or contact the family.
