A Nairobi businesswoman is seeking help from the public after a lorry carrying goods worth KSh 11 million disappeared while on its way to Eldoret, leaving her facing a major financial loss and many unanswered questions.
The woman says the truck was transporting valuable cargo when it suddenly went missing during the journey.
Efforts to trace the vehicle have so far been unsuccessful, making the situation even more worrying for her and those involved in the shipment.
According to reports, one of the biggest challenges in the search is that the lorry’s tracking device was allegedly removed. Without the tracking system, it has become difficult to determine the vehicle’s location or establish where communication with the truck was lost.
The disappearance has raised concerns about the security of cargo transport on Kenya’s major highways.
The woman shared details of her ordeal publicly in the hope that someone may have seen the vehicle or have information that could help investigators locate it.
She described the incident as deeply distressing, noting that the missing goods represented a significant investment and that their disappearance has caused serious financial strain.
News of the missing lorry quickly attracted attention online, where many Kenyans expressed shock at the scale of the loss. Some questioned how a truck carrying such a valuable load could vanish without being traced.
Others pointed to the growing risks faced by transporters moving expensive goods across long distances.
One social media user commented that cargo of such value should have additional security measures, including police escorts, to reduce the risk of theft. The remark reflected wider concerns about the safety of commercial transportation and the methods used by criminal groups targeting trucks carrying high-value goods.
Reports indicate that theft of lorries and cargo remains a challenge in parts of the country. In some cases, criminals are said to disable tracking systems, making it harder for vehicle owners and authorities to locate stolen trucks.
Transport companies and business owners have repeatedly raised concerns about such incidents and called for stronger security measures.
The woman has appealed to well-wishers and members of the public to come forward with any information that may help recover the lorry and its cargo.
Efforts to establish the truck’s whereabouts and identify those responsible are reportedly ongoing as the search continues.
