The teenage girl, who studies at a local secondary school, went missing several days ago.
Family members say she left without warning and has not communicated with anyone since, making it difficult to know whether she is safe.
Speaking at their home, the girl’s mother broke down in tears and made an emotional appeal to the community.
"If you see her, tell her to come back home. We do not want more pain; we just want her back safely" she said.
Relatives revealed that the girl left without packing her school or personal belongings, and her mobile phone has been switched off since the day she disappeared.
This has raised fears about her welfare, especially as her sudden absence is out of character.
Neighbours described the missing student as disciplined and quiet, focusing on her studies.
“She was preparing for school exams and had many plans for the future. We are shocked to hear that she has gone missing,” said one local resident.
The case has been reported to the Kagio Police Station.
Authorities are investigating the matter and are calling on members of the public to provide any information that could help trace the girl.
Police officials warned against sharing unverified information, emphasizing that the safety of the girl is the top priority.
Community leaders have also urged the girl to return home safely.
They reminded other young people of the dangers of leaving home without telling anyone, saying such actions expose them to risks, including exploitation and harm.
As the search continues, neighbours, friends, and family members have been keeping vigil, praying for her safe return.
The community has shown solidarity by helping in the search and supporting the family during this anxious period.
Anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of the missing student is encouraged to contact the local police or community leaders immediately.
The family continues to hope for the girl’s safe return and urges her to come home, assuring her that they are ready to forgive and support her no matter the circumstances.
