The Form Four student from Menengai High School had gone missing after being sent to the deputy principal for a disciplinary matter.
Her sudden disappearance sent shockwaves through her family and the community.
The breakthrough came hours after a report on TUKO.co.ke highlighted Patience’s case, which quickly garnered widespread attention.
A schoolmate, who had read the story, recognized the area where Patience had often spent time.
This critical information led the family to take immediate action. The concerned classmate informed Patience's mother, who then passed the information to the police.
Patience's father, Japheth Simiyu, shared that the police acted swiftly on the tip-off.
Authorities quickly assembled a search team to investigate the location described by the classmate.
The area was known to be dangerous, which made the search even more urgent. Fortunately, Patience was located there, just as the schoolmate had indicated.
The police and family members managed to approach the location without alerting Patience, ensuring that she did not run away before being rescued.
The news of Patience’s discovery brought relief to her family, especially her mother, who had previously described the pain of her daughter’s disappearance as even more intense than labor pains.
After days of anguish and uncertainty, the family was finally able to reunite with their beloved daughter.
The family expressed deep gratitude to the community, the police, and everyone who helped spread the word about Patience’s disappearance.
They also acknowledged the role of the media, which played a key part in drawing attention to the case and leading to the successful rescue.
Patience’s disappearance has raised concerns about how schools handle disciplinary issues, with the family urging institutions to adopt better strategies to ensure the safety of students.
