• Joyce Wangu, who was among the parents that made their way to Naromoru Level 5 Hospital, is yet to find her grandson, Success King'ori
• According to the elderly woman, her grandson was taken to hospital following the fire incident at Endarasha Hillside Academy
• She heartbreakingly asked the public to help her trace the boy whom she had not seen since the inferno incident

Nyeri - After the Hillside Endarasha Academy fire incident, an elderly woman has emotionally appealed to the public to help her trace her grandson.

Joyce Wangu was among family members who visited the Naromoru Level 4 Hospital to identify their kin.

Why was Success rushed to hospital?

After the Thursday night inferno, Wangu heartbreakingly revealed she was looking for her grandson, Success King'ori.

Like many shattered parents, she struggled to come to terms with the aftermath of the horrible accident.

"I asked whether they had seen Success, and they said they had seen him. They said he had fainted and was taken by a teacher who put him in a car and rushed him to hospital. We are asking if there is anyone who has Success to bring him kindly," she emotionally told Citizen TV Kenya as her voice broke.

Success's uncle expresses optimism

Success's uncle, Charles Njoroge, echoed Wangu's words and urged anyone who knew the little boy's whereabouts to share the information with them.

"We are optimistic that Success will show up at the homestead. If there is anyone who is with or has seen Success, please tell us where he is so that we may go for him or bring him to us," Njoroge said.
