She contacted her class teacher, who informed her that a middle-aged woman had come to the school during lunchtime, claiming her father had sent her to take the child to a nearby health center because she was ill.
The woman described herself as Jennifer Aoko, a close relative of the family, and was even carrying refreshments, according to the class instructor, Trizer Adhiambo.
