  • The girl was in the company of the three men the last time she went missing. 
  • They have been visiting each other over the festive season. 

Three Nigerian nationals are in police custody over the disappearance of a 15-year-old schoolgirl in Ruaka.

Morah Stanley Apple, Boniface Nnamdi Nkachukwulu, and Godwin Ovoepeke were arrested on Sunday by detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) at Courtyard Apartments where she was last seen.

The DCI notes that the teenager was seen visiting the apartment and also in the company of the three on different dates during the festive period.

“The minor’s distraught parents have been looking for their daughter in vain, only to realize that she had on various occasions been lured to the apartment where the three men reside,” the DCI said in a statement.

Neighbors also reported having seen the minor in the company of the three foreigners.

The detectives have also nabbed a Kenyan woman identified as Neema Maisori, 20, who was found in the company of the three Nigerian men.

“Detectives are still looking for the minor, who was not in the house at the time the arrests were made,” the DCI added.
