Detectives nab one of Nairobi’s most wanted robbery with violence suspect
Detectives have arrested a robbery with violence suspect who has featured constantly in the list of Nairobi’s most wanted.
According to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), the suspect was nabbed after an attack on a couple that was headed home from work.
The OCS who was on the beat with his men arrived just on time as the thugs were taking off, leading to a dramatic chase that led to the arrest of the suspect.
“The knife-wielding thug had accosted Mohammed Adan and his wife Sameha Muhammad as they headed home around the KAG Church, snatching their mobile phones before taking off on a bike,” DCI stated.
DCI stated that the OCS leading his anti-mugging squad on a motorbike went after the thugs backed by his colleagues in a LandCruiser.
“The suspect’s motorbike later hit the pavement before one of the thugs managed to escape by diving into a storm water culvert as the suspect was apprehended,” DCI stated.
During interrogation, it was discovered that the suspect George Ngugi alias Choku had been arrested in 2011 for preparation to commit a felony, and was released on cash bail.
Detectives say the suspect was arrested again for the same offense and was in possession of narcotics in 2012.
The suspect is in police custody being processed for arraignment.
