A woman who was abducted in Nairobi’s Likoni Road last week has been rescued in Kachiongo within the outskirts of Maua town.
The woman, Shakara Adan Hassan, was abducted while heading to the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) from Eastleigh aboard a taxi on October 12, 2023.
The taxi she was travelling in was stopped by the driver of another vehicle that was trailing them.
According to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), upon stopping, two occupants from the said vehicle while posing as police officers ordered Shakara to board their vehicle and head to Shauri Moyo police station for interrogation leaving the taxi driver at the scene.
“Preliminary investigations revealed that the said individuals were not police officers and the victim had not been booked at any police station within Nairobi region,” DCI stated.
“Further investigations led a team of DCI detectives from DCI Nairobi regional headquarters; DCI Makadara, DCI Imenti North and DCI Igembe Central to Maua town where they managed to arrest the key suspect.”
Abdullahi Mohamed Guled, the key suspect linked to the abduction of Shakara, was arrested in the operation led by detectives from the DCI Nairobi regional headquarters, DCI Makadara, DCI Imenti North and DCI Igembe Central.
A motor vehicle suspected to have been used during the abduction has also been recovered.
The victim was taken to hospital for medical checks while efforts to trace the other suspects are ongoing.
