7 Teenage Girls Reported Missing After Receiving Call From American Number (Video)

Seven teenage girls have allegedly gone missing from November 14.

The 16-year-old girls left their homes on the night of the aforementioned date after receiving a call from an American number.

In a video shared by one of the victims on social media, one of the girls has been identified as Shanise Ndunge Muoka.

It is said that the girls were last seen in Komarock, Nairobi with a Caucasian male.

Others have indicated that the girls were seen enroute to Mombasa.

According to Ndunge’s cousin, the girls could have been sex trafficked.

The family is seeking help from Kenyans to help find the girls who have not turned up for 6 days now.

They are also seeking help from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) to help locate the teenagers.

In September, US Trafficking in Persons Report 2020, placed Kenya in the list of countries with the worst human trafficking trends in the world.

The report indicated that Finland and Somaliland are some additional countries of origin of victims while Ethiopia, Namibia, Thailand, Turkey, Greece, Italy, Netherlands and Rwanda are additional destinations.
