Abigael Nelima, a 21 year old girl from Kitale is stranded in Umoja 3 Estate after a man who promised her a job in Nairobi disappeared.
She had traveled all the way to Nairobi to a meet a man named Collo, whom she met on Facebook. The man had promised to marry her and give her a job at a supermarket.
“I arrived here last night, then spent the night at my friend’s place. I was supposed to start work today (Friday) so when I called the guy, he asked to board the motorbike to where he was, when I asked if he was going to pay for the motorbike, he told me to go back home,” narrated Yelima.
Collo reportedly told her that he was already married.
She says that she had met Collo on Facebook and had hoped that he was going to change his life.
“I did not know that the supermarket job was fake. That is why I used all my savings to try and get to Nairobi,” she said.
She has already reported the matter to Kwa Maji Police Post and Collo has been arrested.
Collo however says that he has no money on him and cannot facilitate Yelima’s return to Kitale.
Yelima is now appealing to well-wishers to help her raise her fare back to Kitale.
