Brian Andore reported at the Kitisuru Police Station that his wife, Mercy Awuor, had been abducted by unknown persons who claimed to offer her a job opportunity but instead they were demanding a ransom of KSh 150,000.
The police arrested a man who identified himself as Chiranzi Tsuma Mbaru, whose phone was used to demand ransom.
“Crime and Intelligence Research Team (CRIB) and Operations of DCI began the task of rescuing the suspect, and on November 13, 2024, they arrested a suspect named Chiranzi Tsuma Mbaru in Gitaru area. It was reported that his phone number was used to claim ransom, which was later proven false,” the police statement reads.

“On November 16, 2024, the team went to Oldonyo Orok, Narok South, where the suspect's phone number was last traced, and they found him at the home of his husband, one George Odada, together with his two children.
