She contacted her class teacher, who informed her that a middle-aged woman had come to the school during lunchtime, claiming her father had sent her to take the child to a nearby health center because she was ill.
The woman described herself as Jennifer Aoko, a close relative of the family, and was even carrying refreshments, according to the class instructor, Trizer Adhiambo.
Adhiambo went on to say that the woman seemed to know the names of other students and their parents.
