KAKAMEGA, KENYA: Walizaliwa Agosti 15 mwaka 1999 katika Hospitali ya Kakamega ambayo kwa sasa ni Hospitali ya Rufaa
Siku 2 kabla ya kuzaliwa kwao, Mwanamke mwingine alijifungua Mtoto wa Kike Hospitalini hapo
Baada ya mapacha hao kuzaliwa mmoja alipata tatizo la kiafya na kulazimika kupelekwa kwenye chumba maalumu kwa uangalizi zaidi
Siku ambayo Mama yao aliruhusiwa kutoka Hospitali inaonekana alipewa Watoto wawili ambao mmoja akiwa si wa kwake na yule wa kwake akipewa Mwanamke aliyejifungua siku 2 kabla yake
Miaka 19 baadaye Watoto hao ambao mmoja alikuwa akiishi Nairobi na Mwingine Kakamega wanakutana baada ya kufananishwa sana na watu kupitia mitandao ya kijamii
Hata hivyo Wote watatu wamekubaliana kuendelea kuishi kama ndugu hata vipimo vikionesha mmoja wao si sehemu ya Familia ya bwana na Bibi, Richard Lukoa

A tiny village in Likuyani, Kakamega County, is grappling with a big puzzle of two identical girls who claim they were separated at birth in 1999.
Sharon Mathias and Melon Lutenyo reunited on Tuesday, nearly 20 years later, at Furfural village in an emotional meeting that has set tongues wagging.
COMPLICATIONS
But as they shed tears of joy, their families were plunged into a dilemma and are now seeking answers over the unusual occurrence.
Rosemary Onyango, who has been raising Melon, believes Sharon, who was raised in Kangemi Nairobi, is also her biological daughter.
“I gave birth to two children on August 15, 1999 at the former Kakamega General Hospital (now Kakamega County Referral Hospital) when my pregnancy was eight and half months,” she said.
“Before that, all the doctors who were attending to me used to tell me that I will give birth to twins.”
Just two days earlier, on August 13, 1999, another woman, Angeline Omina, had been at the same hospital where she gave birth to a baby girl.
That girl was named Sharon.
Due to some complications after birth, one of the babies Rosemary delivered was taken to nursery after she developed a lump on the neck.
That little angel was Mevis Imbayi.
A week later, she was discharged and started raising her girls at her Furfural home.
KANGEMI
“I was told that I had given birth to two girls and I was happy since I already had four big boys. I have been living with the two (Mevis and Melon) since then,” she narrated.
Since then, the family of Richard Lukoa has been raising Mevis and Melon at their home in Likuyani, Matunda, Kakamega County, whereas Sharon has been staying with her parents in Kangemi, Nairobi.
Sharon and Melon grew up without knowing about each other’s existence but things changed when they joined high school
Currently, Melon and Sharon are Form Four candidates at Kongoni Secondary School and Shikoti Girls High School, respectively, in Kakamega County.
One day, Melon’s friends who school at Sharon’s school came and informed her of a girl who appeared like her "carbon copy".
Curious, Melon logged on Facebook and she was shown Sharon’s account.
She was stunned.
She sent a friend request, which was accepted, and the two look-alike strangers started chatting.
MEETING
“It was until our schoolmates and teachers raised concern over our resemblance that we were forced to get acquainted even though we were hesitant,” explained Melon.
During their interactions in social media, the two said they used to dis each other after they noticed that their photos appeared similar.
“It got to a point where I could refer to Sharon as a 'ghost' while she used to call me a 'devil' because it was unbelievable that were shared a lot of similarities,” said Melon.
According to Sharon, despite having a desire to meet Melon, she got suspicious and annoyed, "prompting me to refer to her as a devil”.
