A Chinese woman who sparked concern among residents of Lodwar town in Turkana County has finally been traced by police after spending approximately three days wandering around the area.
However,her unexpected reaction when officers arrived has attracted fresh attention online.A video circulating on social media captured the moment a police vehicle arrived at a location where the woman had been surrounded by members of the public.
Several residents had gathered,hoping to see what would happen after days of uncertainty surrounding her whereabouts.
When officers approached her and attempted to get her into the waiting vehicle,the woman appeared unwilling to cooperate.She reportedly resisted getting inside, forcing members of the public to intervene.
In the footage,several people are seen lifting her and placing her inside the police vehicle as the crowd watches.
Her reluctance to accompany the officers raised further questions about her situation and what might have caused her to remain in Lodwar.
The latest development comes after the woman was spotted moving around different parts of the town for three days while carrying a backpack containing her belongings.
Her first sightings attracted attention after residents noticed that she appeared frightened, exhausted and distressed.
She was reportedly seen crying near the Huduma Centre junction before later walking towards Kawalase Junction.
Some residents also claimed that she had been sleeping outdoors,raising concerns about her safety and well being.
Efforts by locals to establish her identity and understand why she was in the area proved difficult because she could not communicate effectively in English or Kiswahili.
