My name is Joseph, and at 63, I never imagined that losing my mobile phone would expose a secret involving someone I had trusted for years.
I operated a small wholesale business in Meru. One afternoon, while returning from the bank, two men on a motorcycle snatched my phone and disappeared.
The phone contained important business contacts, family photographs and mobile banking applications.
I was devastated.
The message that changed everything
After reporting the incident and securing my accounts, a friend introduced me to Dr Bokko, a traditional spiritual practitioner.
I explained my predicament, and he offered a ritual intended to help me find peace and recover what I had lost.
Three days later, an unfamiliar number sent a photograph to my replacement phone.
The picture showed my stolen device lying on a table beside a distinctive motorcycle helmet.
I immediately recognised the helmet.
It belonged to my nephew, who occasionally assisted with deliveries.
The confession nobody expected
I contacted the sender, who explained that he had purchased the phone from someone matching my nephew’s description.
I forwarded the information to investigators.
When questioned, my nephew admitted selling the device but denied participating in the robbery.
Investigators continued examining how the phone had reached him.
I was heartbroken.
The young man had grown up in my home, and I had supported his education.
Although I cannot establish whether Dr Bokko’s ritual influenced the discovery, seeking support helped me remain hopeful.
The phone was eventually recovered, but the experience permanently changed how I approached personal security.
Today, I use stronger passwords, maintain backups and avoid carrying unnecessary financial information on my phone.
Losing the device was frightening. Discovering that someone close to me was connected to its disappearance was even more painful.
