Charles Keter, the former Energy Cabinet Secretary, is asking for the public’s help after losing his Samsung Fold 7 at Senator Johana Ng’eno’s burial in Emurua Dikirr.
The funeral drew a huge crowd—thousands of mourners, politicians, local residents, and friends—all gathered to say goodbye. With so many people around, it’s not hard to see how something like this could happen.
People close to Keter say he realized his phone was gone just after the ceremony ended. He and his team tried looking for it right away, but no luck. It’s not just any phone, either. The Fold 7 holds a lot of personal and work information, so getting it back is pretty urgent.
Friends think it might have slipped out of his pocket, or maybe someone picked it up in the confusion, not knowing who it belonged to.
Now, there’s a reward for anyone who returns the phone. Keter is urging whoever has it—or anyone who knows anything about it—to come forward and help out.
Friends and local leaders are spreading the word too, asking people in Emurua Dikirr and nearby areas to keep an eye out. Big gatherings like this sometimes lead to things getting lost, especially when people are moving around so much.
The burial itself was a major event, with leaders from across the political spectrum coming to pay their respects.
But even as people mourned and shared their memories, Keter’s missing phone became another story from the day. He and his friends are still hoping someone will find it and claim the reward.
