It is reported that Oyuka never told his family where he was going, and said he was saddened to find out his wives had given up on hopes of his return.

“I wish my wives were here to welcome me home. I wish them well in their marriages. However, I would like them to know that I’m still alive and that they should create time and visit me,” he told the publication.

According to media reports in Kenya, the madala expected his wives to remain intact while he spent most of the 47 years away from home in Tanzania, where he fell in love and had a child with another woman.
