Media personality Ciku Muiruri is in distress after a Sunday morning abduction of her daughter Erica Gachoka and her friend Shanice Agose on Saturday night.
The radio legend took to Facebook on Sunday night to share a heartbreaking story of how her daughter Erica and her friend Shanice were abducted by a taxi driver.
“Peace be with you all. Novena is below. But first, I have a very special favour to ask each and every one of you. In the early hours of Sunday morning (2am), my daughter and a friend of hers were abducted by a taxi driver,” she wrote.
“We know that prayers can move mountains. Stop wars. Please pray for my daughter Erica Njeri and her friend Shanice Agose as part of your intentions. Also, and this is very important, pray for those who have taken them, that their souls may not be lost.”
The distraught mother went on to ask her followers to join her in seeking God’s hand in the matter while also attaching a prayer – part of the catholic ‘Novena’ series of prayers she has been conducting over the last week.
“I’m going to do everything in my power to get her home safely but I know that we cannot even tie our shoes without God’s Grace,” Ms. Muiruri said.
“I have no control over what they are doing to her, where she is or if I will ever see her alive again. Only God can help her.”
The distraught mother said she will not eat until she is reunited with her child.
“I will not have a bite to eat until she is safely returned. And I have faith that with all your prayers, she will be returned to me safe and sound. Jesus, I Trust in You. Please Lord, don’t let them harm my baby,” she cried.
Erica Gachoka is a 26-year-old University of Nottingham alumni and the founder of the Le Ngai Foundation.
Erica has also passionately pushed for easy access to blood for all Kenyans and even participated in the 2013 Chicago Marathon to raise money for a mobile blood unit.
She participated in the race to help the BloodLink Foundation raise Sh.4.3 million to purchase a mobile blood donation unit to help mobilize blood donors to ensure sufficient safe blood for needy Kenyans.
We hope Erica and her friend will be rescued and reunited with their families.
