How Police Arrested Kidnappers of Ciku Muiruri’s Daughter
Nairobi, Kenya – The Kenyan police successfully apprehended the kidnappers responsible for the abduction of Erica Njeri, 26, and her friend Shanice Agose, 27, who went missing in June 4th after attending a party in Westlands.
The swift action and collaboration between law enforcement agencies and the victims’ families played a pivotal role in bringing the perpetrators to justice.
According to police reports, Njeri and Agose had called for a Bolt taxi through an online service, unaware that they were being deceived.
Upon entering the vehicle, the perpetrators activated the child locks, trapping the victims inside. One of the brave ladies attempted to fight back but was unfortunately struck on the head.
However, her injuries were found to be minimal when she was eventually rescued.
Following the abduction, the kidnappers initiated negotiations with the families of the two young women on Sunday.
Initially demanding a ransom of one million Kenyan shillings, they later settled for a sum of 500,000 Kenyan shillings.
In an attempt to evade law enforcement, the criminals frequently switched off their mobile phones, but their misguided tactics ultimately led to their capture.
Law enforcement officials, determined to secure the safe release of the victims, meticulously tracked the kidnappers despite their efforts to remain elusive.
With the assistance of the families, who remained cooperative throughout the ordeal, the police were able to narrow down the radius in which the kidnappers were operating.

The breakthrough came when the perpetrators made the mistake of engaging in communication with the victims’ families.
This interaction provided vital clues that helped the police pinpoint their location. Acting swiftly, the authorities closed in on an empty bedsitter in Gatokoyo, where the kidnappers were found hiding.
The successful rescue operation led to the immediate apprehension of the criminals, who are believed to be part of a larger criminal syndicate.
The police have commended the coordinated efforts of all parties involved in the investigation and expressed their gratitude to the public for their support and vigilance.
Erica Njeri and Shanice Agose were freed from their captors’ clutches, emerging from the harrowing experience physically unharmed, save for the injuries sustained by one of the victims during the initial abduction.
The news of the successful rescue has brought relief and joy to the friends, families, and well-wishers who rallied behind Njeri and Agose during their ordeal.
