Family seeks Gov't help to trace Likoni businessman missing for 18 days

• Peter Wambua is said to have told his family that he was heading to Mombasa town for a business meeting, but he never returned home.
• The family reported the matter, but 18 days after leaving home, Wambua remains untraced.

The family of 45-year-old Peter Wambua Mwaluko, a Likoni-based businessman, is pleading with the government to assist in tracing their son, who went missing on September 26, 2026.

Peter Wambua is said to have told his family that he was heading to Mombasa town for a business meeting, but he never returned home.

The family reported the matter, but 18 days after leaving home, Wambua remains untraced.

Wambua is said to have notified his wife on the 26th of last month that he was headed to the Central Business District (CBD) in Mombasa for a meeting with an unknown businessman.

He was to attend another business meeting with a fellow businessmen later. He did not return home.

“Saa tisa ya usiku nikiamka niombe nikaona mbona mwenzangu hajaingia kwa nyumba, nikatoka nikaenda nikakaa chini nikaomba…after kuomba nikasema wacha nimpigie simu nijue mahali aliko..nilipompigia simu laini yake ikawa haifanyi kazi…nikauliza kwa nini hii line yake haifanyi na si kawaida yake…yeye 24/7 simu yake huwa iko on,” said Josephine Mbula Kisilu, Wambua’s wife.

The family reported the matter at Likoni Police Station, with initial investigations revealing that the last communication signal from Wambua was in Likoni. The family is now asking the government to assist in tracing their kin.

“Naomba waharakishe manake hii ni wiki ya tatu, mtoto anashinda akiniuliza kwani daddy hajapatikana, nafanya kumwambia usijali babako atapatikana,” said Josephine.

Wambua’s brother Barnabas Mwaluko added, “Imetushtua sana manake hakuwa mgonjwa na sio kawaida yake atoke akose kurudi kwa nyumba, tumejaribu kumtafuta tumemtafuta kwa hospitali, mortuary…bado hatujapata mafanikio yeyote. Kama kuna jambo alifanya tunaomba msamaha.”

“Kama kuna jambo lolote ambalo ndugu yetu alifanya anafaa kufikishwa kortini na afunguliwe mashtaka,” stated pastor Jonathan Kilonzo.

According to the family, the police are yet to establish who the businessman was meeting and for what purpose, 18 days after the matter was reported.
