Kenyan Baby Abduction: Stolen Baby Returned

His story begun on September 30 2013, when a woman in her forties boarded a bus destined for Juba in from Nairobi. The baby started crying and the passengers got concerned that despite the yelling, the mother was neither feeding nor cuddling him to calm down.
 The journey reportedly lasted for 20 hours. The following day at the Namule border point in South Sudan, the passengers notified the police who questioned the woman. The abductor passed through Kenya-Uganda border but got arrested after crossing into Uganda-South Sudan borders without notice.

The baby now identified as Marua Munene alias Baby Lucky Juba, though his real name is yet to be known, was returned to Nairobi by Kenyan Foreign Affairs officials following a court order in Juba that the baby be brought back. The boy who was in the company of Kenya Mission in South Sudan and Children’s Department officials remained playful, at one time grabbing a journalist’s microphone, but his parents are yet to be identified.
The baby looked healthy. He had been in the custody of the Kenyan Embassy for four months, before he was finally flown in.
