George Chira Njuguna left Kenya for Dubai on April 1, 2026, through a travel agent identified as Nduta, a woman they considered family, as she is the daughter of his mother’s closest friend.

After landing in Dubai, instead of finding the life he had been promised, George found himself abandoned, alone, hungry and stranded in a foreign country; no one had come to receive him.
“The following morning, he called his mother begging for money to buy food. Despite the distance, a mother’s heart could feel that her son was in trouble. She quickly sent what little she could, and later, George made one final call saying someone had finally come for him,” said his wife.

That call became the last memory his family would ever have of him alive.
Days passed with complete silence. His worried family kept seeking answers from Nduta, but they were constantly told not to panic, then came a shocking claim from Silas, who alleged George was being deported for allegedly being mentally unstable.
His devastated mother only pleaded with them to return her son home safely. After reporting the matter to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and waiting in agony for answers, the family received the heartbreaking news that George had died on April 14, 2026, in a road accident in Dubai and his body was taken to Ramayan Morgue.
Only 14 days after leaving Kenya full of dreams, George will be returning home as a body.
