Willis Ayieko, Head of Human Resources at Wells Fargo, was found dead on Monday in Nyamninia, Siaya County, four days after he was reported missing.
Ayieko had last been seen on Friday after attending a burial in Gem, Siaya County. His abandoned vehicle was later discovered in Sabatia, sparking concern among family and colleagues.
Siaya Sub-County Police Commander Charles Wafula confirmed that officers found Ayieko’s body near a stream in Yala, handcuffed, suggesting foul play. CCTV footage shows two unidentified men leaving his vehicle near a petrol station in Sabatia. Investigations are ongoing to uncover the events leading to his death.
