What you need to know:
Born in 1954, Esther disappeared at the age of 22. Soon afterwards, all Kenyan students at Makerere University were recalled to continue their education at the University of Nairobi. Some made their way to other universities out of the country.
A younger sister of politicians Reuben Chesire and Zipporah Kittony, Esther Chesire was a Second Year law student at Makerere University when she disappeared.
She was picked up by Idi Amin’s security agents at Entebbe airport in March 1976. Her whereabouts remain unknown 37 years down the line.
