Australian Diaspora Rallies to Trace Missing Kenyan Man Last Seen in New South Wales

A Kenyan family living in Australia has appealed to the diaspora community to help search for a relative who went missing in Liverpool, New South Wales, after exhibiting signs of anxiety.

Baruch Kipkemboi, also known as Faruk, was last seen in the area on Wednesday, October 21, 2026. Friends and family members launched an urgent search after his sudden disappearance raised immediate safety concerns.

According to information shared by those close to him, Kipkemboi was visibly anxious shortly before he went missing. Family members describe him as friendly and approachable, but they have advised anyone who spots him to interact with him calmly so as not to cause him further stress.

His cousin, Leny, released a missing-person alert over the weekend, asking members of the Kenyan community across Australia to share details of his disappearance to widen the search area.

Anyone who has seen Kipkemboi or holds information about his location has been asked to contact his cousin directly on 0415 979 614 or report the details to local authorities as efforts to locate him continue.
