A man has been arrested for kidnapping himself and causing cuts on his own body while asking his sister for a Ksh 100,000 ransom.
The operation was conducted Friday December 13 morning within Kitengela township, Kajiado County.
This was after he hid for hours in a lodging while demanding a ransom.
Acting on a report made at Kajiado Police Station Thursday night indicating that Mulwo had been shoved in a Toyota Probox by two men who pretended to offer him a lift, DCI Crime Research and the Operations directorate moved swiftly in pursuit, tracing the alleged victim at Mutuku Lodgings in Kitengela.
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
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.
Recovered were Sh10,100 in cash and the handset he was using to communicate with the family.
