Residents in Lurambi, Kakamega County, are in disbelief as man returns home after going missing for 17 years.
When 42-year-old Boniface Moi Muyeshi stepped up uninvited in Emukoyani, Butsotso Ward, everyone sang and danced.
A resident told citizen that Muyeshi left home in 2006 for Nairobi, abandoning his family, never to be seen again.

A prayer session preceded the purification process, after which the prodigal son was reunited with his family. His happiness was short-lived, however, when he learned that his wife had a child with another man.
"We suspected he died during the post-election skirmishes in 2007/2008," his relative Fredrick Witumbele stated.
The family traditionally welcomed their son by slaughtering a ram. Muyeshi's wife, Agripina Mulupi, has remarked that raising their three children has been difficult.
"I settled down with someone else because I couldn't raise these children on my own," Agripina explained.
On the other hand, she said she would like to turn over a fresh leaf after her husband's return.
"Because the man of the house had returned, I had to send my current lover away." "We'll figure out how to co-parent," she continued.
