Geoffrey Mosiria gives update as Nigerian he rescued goes back to the streets
By Charles Ouma, March 16, 2026Geoffrey Mosiria has sought help to locate a Nigerian national whom he rescued from the streets and booked into a hotel, as he organised further help, only for the foreigner to go missing.
Mosiria detailed that he met the man in Kawangware and established that he was homeless after his plans to pursue greener pastures in the country fell apart.
The man claimed that he came to Kenya after a cousin promised to sponsor his education, but jetted out to the U.S shortly after his arrival.
“During our conversation, he shared that he came to Kenya after receiving a promise of sponsorship from his cousin to continue his education here. However, after only two weeks in the country, his cousin, who had promised to support him, left for the United States without enrolling him in school, leaving him stranded in Kenya.
What he requested from Mosiria
Opening up on his struggles, the foreigner revealed that he has been on the streets for two years with a lady who claimed to have lived in the same apartment with the Nigerian, adding another layer to his plight.
According to the lady who recognised the man, he sank into depression after a lady he was in a relationship with took everything from him.
“As we continued talking, he explained how he struggled to survive and eventually ended up living on the streets. He has now been on the streets for about two years. In one of the videos I recorded, a lady reached out to me and said she recognised him. According to her, they once lived in the same apartment building. She narrated how the man had been in a relationship with a lady who allegedly took everything he owned. This incident deeply affected him, pushing him into depression and eventually to the streets.
He requested Mosiria to support him in getting a job to sustain himself and also assist him in renewing his travel documents, which have since expired, so that he can head back home.
“Currently, his travel documents have expired, and he expressed that his biggest wish is to renew them so that he can return home to Nigeria and start life again. I offered to use my platform to help fundraise for the renewal of his documents, as he personally requested. He also asked if I could help him secure any form of work so that he could at least sustain himself as he waits to regularise his documents.
Appeal to trace missing Nigerian
Mosiria also revealed that the man needed mental health support as he appeared to be struggling with depression.
He, however, left the hotel in a hurry and has not been traced since then, with Mosiria appealing for help in tracing him.
“Unfortunately, later in the morning, I received a call from the hotel attendant informing me that although the man had slept well, he left the guest house very early in a hurry. Later reports indicated that he had been seen back on the streets. Since then, efforts to locate and rescue him have not been successful. I am informed that he rarely accepts help from people, which makes the situation even more challenging,” he said.
