Nairobi County Chief Officer for Environment, Geoffrey Mosiria, has pledged immediate assistance to a university student. This pledge follows a desperate online appeal.
The appeal concerned the wrongful arrest of the man’s girlfriend during a police raid targeting ‘twilight girls’.
A Desperate Midnight Plea
The appeal was made by a man identified as “Siluz Tesh”. He posted his request on the Facebook group “NAIROBI COMRADES FORUM”. Tesh directed his plea specifically to Geoffrey Mosiria.
Tesh explained that police arrested prostitutes along Koinange Street late on a recent night. The incident occurred around 1 am. His girlfriend, Irene, was also caught in the sweep.
“Police arrested prostitutes along Koinange Street at 1 am. My girlfriend was also arrested. She is not a prostitute and was in the wrong place at the wrong time,” the man explained.
Tesh provided background information explaining Irene’s presence. She had gone to the city centre to purchase Panadol. She had to use a town chemist because no shops were open in Ngara area where they reside at that time.
Irene is currently detained at Central Police Station. Tesh noted that she was due to be taken to court.
“Irene is a 3rd yr UoN BA student in main, Mosiria please help we both support your good steps to bring sanity back to Nairobi,” he pleaded further.
Chief Officer Acts Swiftly
The Chief Officer for Environment, Geoffrey Mosiria, quickly responded to the online crisis. He acknowledged the severity of the situation for the student.
He instructed anyone who knew the “suffering comrade” to tell him to call immediately. Mosiria emphasised the duty to assist students.
The Chief Officer made his intentions clear:
“A comrade must be helped to get back what belongs to him so that he can concentrate in class.”
The intervention suggests a move to secure the immediate release of the student. The goal is to ensure Irene can return to her studies.
Irene is described as being the fourth person from the right in a photo Tesh attached to his post. This detail was included to help identify her at the police station.
