    DCI Arrests Kitengela ‘Gambler’ Who Kidnapped self, Demanded Ksh 100 K ransom from Sister

    The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI)has arrested a man believed to have kidnapped himself and demanded a ransom.

    In a statement, the DCI said that the man named Nobert Mulwo was arrested on Friday, December 13 in the morning.

    “A man who abducted himself, inflicted cuts on his body before demanding Kshh100,000 ransom from his sister to secure his ‘release’ has been ‘rescued’ by detectives based at DCI Headquarters.

    The operation was conducted early this morning within Kitengela township. Nobert Mulwo, 25, was freed from the bounds of a rope fastened on his legs and arms and a bloody bandage that kept his mouth shut, a calculated move staged to influence the family to act fast and send the ransom,” the statement read.

    The DCI were prompted to make an investigation to the alleged abduction following a report that was made at Kajiado Police Station on the night of Thursday December 12 indicating that Mulwo had been shoved in a Toyota Probox by two men who pretended to offer him a lift.

    Later the DCI Crime Research and the Operations directorate moved swiftly in pursuit, tracing the alleged victim at Mutuku Lodgings in Kitengela.

    Upon rescue and brief interrogation, detectives uncovered that the kidnapping was an extortion scheme orchestrated by the ‘victim’ and his accomplice only identified as Ndolo, after he (Mulwo) lost his entire November salary to betting.

    Items retrieved by the detectives at the scene were Sh10,100 cash and the handset he was using to communicate with the family.

    Also taken as exhibits were a scalpel blade and bandages, he was using on the self-inflicted wound to create the impression that his kidnappers were manhandling him.

    According to the DCI, Mulwa has been handed over to DCI Kajiado for legal processing and arraignment.

    A similar incident was also witnessed in Kitsuru, where a man named Brian Andole claimed that Mercy Awuor, whom he said was his wife, was allegedly abducted by unknown people who demanded a ransom.

    Upon investigation by the DCI, it was established that it was a love triangle. Mercy was questioned by the police and confessed that she was never abducted but had decided to end her relationship with Andole and return to her family.

    Police arrested Mary and Odada, along with a close friend of Mercy, whose mobile phone was allegedly used to demand the ransom.
