A woman who was kidnapped yesterday morning as she headed to work, was rescued by detectives after a 3-hour ordeal in the hands of the kidnappers. The woman who is a fruit vendor at City Park had woken up at the crack of dawn and rushed to the bus stop at toll station
along Thika road, in a bid to catch an early bus to the city. At the bus stop, a private vehicle make Toyota Raum KBU 265V, pulled over. The driver asked the woman whether she was headed to Nairobi and when she replied in the affirmative, he offered to drop her at Ngara
adding that he was carrying two other passengers who were headed to the city. Innocently, the fruits vendor boarded the vehicle that sped towards Nairobi. However, upon approaching Kenyatta University, the vehicle took the service lane, made a U-turn at the Engen gas station
and sped towards Thika. At this point, it dawned on the woman that the occupants of the vehicle were not innocent passengers but a miscreant gang of three. The thugs took possession of the woman’s phone and placed a call to her husband demanding for a ransom of Sh30,000,
failure to which they would send him her remains in a body bag. He was further warned not to reveal anything to police lest the thugs also come for his neck. But the husband who was determined to rescue his beloved wife disregarded their warnings and #Fichuad to our
agents through the DCI toll free line, 0800 722 203. Immediately after the call, a specialized team of detectives from the Special Service Unit was scrambled and in a matter of minutes, the team was mobile towards the direction of the kidnappers.
Along the way, they were backed up by Juja based sleuths on a mission to rescue the woman. All this while, the thugs were raping the woman in turns, as they made demands for more money from the woman’s friends and relatives. After 3 hours of intelligence leads, the thugs who
kept moving from one location to another were finally cornered at a secluded spot in Kabati area in Kandara, Murang’a county. On sighting the lanky, mean looking sleuths approaching their vehicle, the thugs attempted to flee but couldn’t match our men’s athletic capabilities.
All of them were floored a few metres from the vehicle. The 35-year-old woman was finally rescued but unfortunately, the miscreants aged between 24-27 had raped her repeatedly. She was first rushed to hospital for treatment as well as the suspects for the relevant medical
procedures to be conducted. Upon inspection of their motor vehicle, blood stained knives were recovered and the vehicle’s boot was discovered to be stained with blood spots. The vehicle was towed to DCI headquarters where it will be subjected to forensic examination to further
reinforce our case against the suspects identified as David Njoroge, 27, Livingston Mwangi, 24 and Justin Charles Nyaga, 24 years. As a precautionary measure, members of the public are advised not to board private vehicles belonging to strangers but endeavour to use public
means from established operators for their safety. Consequently, the Directorate of Criminal Investigations encourages all victims of crime to immediately report criminal activities when they happen, for expeditious action. All you need to do is have our Emergency Toll Free
Number in your phone book and dial it immediately you need our assistance. #FichuakwaDCI 0800 722 203. Usiogope!

Yesterday, we reported how John Muthoni, a driver with the 2NK Sacco, courageously drove to Sagana Police Station upon realising that the high school students he was carrying were smoking bhang and drinking alcohol.
Muthoni was transporting students from Nyeri to Nairobi for their mid-term break. After failing to contain the rowdy and highly intoxicated students, the driver resorted to driving them to the nearby police station.
Sadly, the 14 students (seven boys and seven girls) jumped from the windows of the moving matatu before Muthoni could reach the report desk. In his own Facebook account, Muthoni has reported that he was sacked for his act of bravely.

Police in Isiolo are in hot pursuit of an armed gang that raided a local pub last night, shooting at a patron on his thigh and inflicting numerous injuries on others before escaping with an unknown amount of money.

Following the 8pm incident, police on patrol received a distress
call from the owner of the bar locally known as “Wazee Hukumbuka" & responded swiftly.

They tactfully approached the scene where an unestablished number of gun-toting villains were roughing up patrons, as they frisked them for valuables.

In a well calculated move that covered
the bar's possible exits, the officers announced their presence and intention to fire if the gang failed to surrender.

Defying the orders, one of the gang members went for the trigger, but before he could make a fatal aim at anyone, a hawk-eyed officer neutralized his efforts
