A Chinese woman who sparked widespread concern among residents of Lodwar town in Turkana County after being spotted wandering the streets for several days was photographed shopping at a local supermarket, prompting renewed online debate.
The woman, believed to be in her mid-twenties, had been seen across different parts of Lodwar, appearing visibly unsettled and tearful.
Residents who approached her were unable to communicate with her, as she reportedly neither spoke English nor Kiswahili. When people tried to engage her, she would simply sit down and remain silent, deepening concern about her well-being and her ability to find help.
