Wife Of Missing Taxi Driver Arrested After Filing Suspicious Police Report In Kayole
Police in the Kayole area of Nairobi Country are holding a woman in custody in connection with her husband’s disappearance a week ago.
Teresia Masese was taken from her residence in the Mihango Area of Utawala on Thursday to provide a statement regarding the disappearance of her spouse, Evans Moracha.
Teresia became a person of interest in the case after filing a suspicious missing person report two days after her husband vanished.
Evans’ vehicle was traced to Murang’a, then Kirinyaga, before it was found abandoned in Mihango, Embakasi, a kilometer away from his home.
Eight days since the 47-year-old went missing, his relatives have tirelessly searched for him, visiting police stations and morgues while pursuing every lead they could find from those who saw him after disappearing last Thursday.
Evans, an online taxi driver, is reported to have driven to his regular car wash in Mawe Mbili along Kangundo Road.
Reports suggest that he returned hours later to rest before resuming his taxi work at night, but that never happened.
Police investigations indicate he was picked up from his home by unknown individuals in the dead of the night.
“It is said he came home after two and rested because he is an Uber man…as he disappeared, it is said that he was picked up from his home at 1:15 am and since then he has never been traced,” George William said.
“Shockingly, some people can come and pick you up from your own house,” Evans’ brother Richard Moracha added.
On Saturday, more than 48 hours since Evans went missing, his wife Teresia filed a missing person report at Kayole Police Station.
Another report was filed by a relative at Mawe Mbili Police Station.

A week later, police officers from Kayole Police Station took Teresia in for questioning due to suspicions raised by the missing persons report she had filed.
“We contacted the tracking company and it shows that the car is moving from the house at 1 a.m.…those are the questions that do not add up,” Richard noted.
Teresia reported that her husband didn’t return home after he left on Wednesday. However, car tracking device records tell a different story.
Evans’ car left the Chokaa area at 1:44 am, joined Kangundo Road, and was spotted in Sagana at 03:49 am, then in Kirinyaga 54 minutes later.
At 06:50 am, the vehicle was seen in Kasarani, Nairobi, and later at the Astrol Police Station in Runda before moving to Gitaru and then to Ongata Rongai at 10:02 am.
It was later spotted at South C at 11:09 am and Airport South Road in Pipeline at 3:01 pm before being abandoned in Nairobi’s Njiiru area.
Close to 72 hours after he went missing, his car was discovered abandoned nearly a kilometer from his home, with its windows left wide open.
As his relatives intensify their search for their missing loved one, they place their faith in the hands of the police officers investigating the matter hoping for a successful resolution and his safe return.
