Two aborted foetuses were found on the side of the road at Tassia Stage along Outering Road.
This was 8 months ago and trying to get any more information proved futile. Nonetheless, it is a great story to write about.

It is not surprising to encounter such incidents in Nairobi.
Every day, the body count of aborted foetus keeps piling up from the Nairobi river and other river cleanups in Nairobi.
“Abortion is the leading cause of death of more than 80 infants whose unclaimed bodies are set to be disposed by the Nairobi Metropolitan Services (NMS) this month”, a report stated in 2020.
Out of the 85 unclaimed bodies of infants, 35 are made up of unknown foetuses that were aborted by their mothers in different places in Nairobi with Pangani, Kasarani and the Eastlands area including Kayole, Kariobangi and Embakasi the worst affected.
Worryingly, the more than 30 abortion deaths were reported to the various police stations in the capital city within a span of only six months between April and October 2020.
The statistics paint a grim picture of a worrying rate of abortion in Nairobi, especially in informal settlements.
The figures back the high numbers of foetuses that were recovered by a team of youth that have been cleaning the expansive Nairobi River where more than 15 out of the 24 recovered bodies were foetuses with Korogocho area worst affected.
