A Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) soldier on Saturday made surprise visit to his family in Lanet, Nakuru, from Somalia where he has been serving in the African Union Mission in Somalia.
Mr Joseph Aringo, 33, who left the country in January, unexpectedly showed up at his Lanet home on the outskirts of Nakuru town. The soldier was received by his wife, sister in law and his three children.
But the surprise home coming was well planned and executed with military precision. Mr Nicky Omolo, a close family friend, informed Mr Aringo’s family that they would be having a special guest.
The family did not know that Mr Aringo had communicated with Mr Omolo about his visit. Not even Mr Omolo’s wife Judy Achieng’ knew the special guest they were expecting.
“It was one of my biggest surprises,” said Ms Achieng’.
