When did Yegon disappear? Yegon vanished on Sunday, May 5, shortly after returning home from a business trip abroad. CCTV footage captured the chilling moment when he was kidnapped from Amazon Mall in Kileleshwa. He was taken away a day after his friend and business partner, Paul Kipkemei Korir, had also been abducted from a joint in Ngong town. The family endured untold anguish during the months of his disappearance and even offered a cash reward of KSh 500,000. How was Yegon released? Speaking to TUKO.co.ke, Detective Jane Mugoh, who has been handling the case, disclosed that Yegon and Korir were dumped on Mombasa Road at night. She attributed their safe return to the pressure she and Yegon’s family put on the suspected kidnapper. Detective Mugoh says the perpetrator is a woman from Murang’a named Salome but operating through aliases. “I spoke to Yegon at around 3 am just after they had been released. They look a bit weak, but they are okay,” she explained. What Yegon’s return means to the family The return of Yegon brings back smiles to the family, which had endured three painstaking months.
