Girl Claiming to be President Uhuru's Unknown Daughter Driven Away by Police Officers

A placard carrying girl who claimed to be President Kenyatta's unknown daughter and whose photo went viral on social media was on Friday taken away by police officers.

A second photo that has been highly circulated online shows the girl, who identified herself as Tamara Risheel, being driven away in a Kilimani Police Station patrol car. She is seen at the back seat of the police vehicle with the placard she had been waving along the streets.

She was first spotted near Yaya Centre in Nairobi on Friday with a placard and dressed in maroon tights with a black dress

"Meet Tamara Risheel Unknown President Uhuru Kenyatta's daughter. My high dream is to meet my daddy in person for the first time. I love my daddy," read the sign.

The photo went viral immediately, resulting in backlash through Twitter hashtag #ifikieUhuru. It remains unclear the destination the cops drove her to.
