Seven Teen Kenyan Girls Reported Missing After Receiving Calls from US Phone Number
Seven Kenyan girls aged 16 years have reportedly gone missing after they received calls from a US phone number.
The teenagers were lured out of their homes in Nairobi on the night of Saturday, November 14th through calls made from a US phone number, according to a cousin of one of the seven girls.
In a video circulated on social media, she says her cousin identified as Shanise Ndunge Muoka, and the girls were offered an opportunity to audition for an undisclosed movie role.
She adds that the girls were in contact with a Caucasian man and the phone number used to trap them does not go through.
Reports indicate the girls were last seen being transported to Mombasa.
Ndunge’s cousin says they believe the girls have been sex trafficked and the family is appealing to Kenyans to help them find their daughter and her colleagues.
The families are also working with the police to locate the teenagers.
