Two unidentified people were arrested during the rescue mission that took place on Wednesday, March 6. Makswell left people in tears when he took to Facebook on Thursday, February 28, to plead with Kenyans to help him locate and rescue his little girl.
“To my little girl Tamara, daddy is really sorry I could not be able to take care of you any longer. I know I have failed you. I was the only person who was to protect you from these people but instead I chose to let them have you,” he said.Source: Facebook The father of one who was sharing his story from the confines of a police station narrated how his wicked in-laws forcibly took his baby after his wife died from liver related complications.
Makswell went ahead to allege his late wife’s family accused him of kidnapping baby Tamara and denying her lifesaving medical attention. “Annette Kimuomi had told the officers that Rena died of HIV and that Tamar was born positive, so the officer told me that these people have money and they can do anything so if I know what is good for me then I should give them the child,” wrote Makswell. He later said he was forced into giving up the fight after police officers threatened to kill him. Makswell opened up on how his late wife asked him to protect their child moments before she died. The heartbroken father claimed his late wife’s family was known for using children to garner money from donors under the pretence of running an orphanage.
