Man Returns Home 49 Years After Selling Property, Abandoning Wives and 10 Kids
An 83-year-old Kirinyaga man who disappeared from his home 49 years ago has reunited with his family.
Wilson Numbi Miatu left his home in Kiamaciri village in Mwea West in 1973 after selling off all his property in Kiamaciri and Kagio town.
Miatu, who had inherited the property from his late father, left behind two wives Mary Numbi and Milka Numbi, and 10 children.
For nearly 50 years, the family did not know the whereabouts of Matu, who was 34 years old at the time he left. Attempts to trace him were unsuccessful.
The octogenarian was found alive in Mpeketoni, Lamu County after health workers in a local hospital circulated his photo on social media.
Miatu’s son Paul Murimi, who was only three years old when his dad went missing, says he was taken to the hospital by a good Samaritan.
"I think my father thought he would die after spending money when he sold grandfather's property. We feared that he might not be alive and gave up on searching for him as a family. He is a prodigal father, but we are happy to have found him and have forgiven him," Murimi told Citizen Digital.
Miatu, who is still ailing, is currently living with his wife Mary and their first-born daughter.

Mombasa kuingia raha tupu. Kutoka ni kubebwa vingine.
Africans had very good and strong family values and ties until foreigners messed up everything..
I would like to know what foreigner messed Wilson Numbi Miatu up.
@Mteja, they did not destroy our values without our consent, we let them!. Just look at how our Kenyan women salivate over white men.
Mteja would you call selling all the properties and abandoning the family Values? If it was a foreign Land they would have found him long time.
Mteja truth tupu. No prostitution and STD b4 colonialism. The best way to destroy a civilizations is from within.
Unfortunately our ppl are destroying them selves in the name of immoral progressive agenda, toxic food and soft porn
Ajabu!
Intra-Diaspora he was. He ran away from responsibilities. It appears the grass was not greener wherever he was. He is a selfish man.
How do you forgive a man who squandered his only life and that of his family members? He should go back to Lamu to deal with Majini. Nonsense!
Tamaa iliMtuma kutumiwa, na ikaMtupa kutupiwa. Hivyo ndivyo Ilivyo.
These are the kind of people who sin their entire lives and then get saved on their death bed so they can go into heaven. If this was a relative of mine....akae tu huko Lamu
Let the nigga pay child support if he wants forgiveness.
