NAIROBI (Halbeeg News) – A teacher from an undisclosed school in Donholm stands accused of kidnapping a nine-year-old Somali pupil and demanding a staggering KSh10 million ransom from the child’s father.
The pupil was reported missing by his father after he went to pick him up from a school in Donholm, Nairobi.
It is then that the father was informed that the grade three pupil had left in the company of his class teacher.
Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigation have safely returned a minor to his parents after he was allegedly abducted by his teachers.
Sleuths, however, located the boy who was being held in a room in Kayole.
“A team of detectives drawn from the Nairobi Region Command in collaboration with colleagues from DCI Buruburu launched a thorough operation in Kayole Sabasaba area, leading to the rescue of the minor who had been locked in a room believed to have been rented by another teacher, who works in the same school with the main suspect,” the DCI said. “Efforts to trace the teacher proved futile only for the father to receive a call from abductors who were demanding Sh10 Million ransom, prompting the father to make a report at Buruburu police station,” DCI said.
One suspect, Fredrick Odhiambo, was apprehended by the DCI during the operation.
He was found in possession of a motorcycle, mobile phone, and other items believed to be linked to the heartless act. These items have been secured as evidence, as the hunt for additional suspects continues.
“The items have been kept at exhibits as the operation continues to bring in the other suspects,” the DCI said.
According to DCI, the minor was immediately rescued and taken to hospital for medical checks as the operation continued.
