The family of a Kenyan police officer who died in a foreign country over a year ago says authorities have never provided a clear explanation for his death or returned his body.
In March 2026, Kabiru's family was called to Embakasi and handed his personal belongings. Clothes and effects arrived, but not the remains of their son. His mother says the experience forced a painful realisation.
"When I received his belongings at Embakasi, it forced us to come to terms that my son had indeed died in a foreign country, all alone," she said.
The family has lived more than a year without knowing where Kabiru's body lies or what he experienced in his final moments.
His mother remains unwell, weighed down not only by grief but by the torment of unanswered questions.
The case highlights institutional gaps in how Kenyan families are supported when officers die during overseas deployments.
No formal briefing, no repatriation timeline, and no forensic clarity have been provided to the bereaved household.
Will Kenyan authorities finally address the concerns of families left in limbo after losing loved ones abroad?
