A family in Gachiongo village in Tharaka Nithi County is delighted after it was united with its kin, who disappeared over 50 years ago.
According to the family, Njeru Mwiru went missing in 1969 when he was still a youth and has come back in his 70s.
Mwiru revealed that in his 53 years away from home, he was staying in Kitui County.
The family was overjoyed to see him with his siblings saying they had never given up and would occasionally search for him.
In his five-decade disappearance, Mwiru neither got married nor had children of his own.
The family says he came home carrying only a sack that had his clothes and panga which he says he bought while in exile.
