The girl rushed to the car of the stranger leaving the other children. Police explained that the girl had been called in a similar manner by people said to be her relatives.
"The man called to her and she rushed to him shouting “habari uncle”. There was no commotion, hence her fellow pupils and those in nearby shops would not have suspected anything sinister." says the report.
Shortly afterwards, the kidnappers demanded a ransom of Sh500,000 but never followed up on their demand.
