A husband had recently gone to report to the police station that his wife had been kidnapped with those who had committed the crime demanding a ransom of 200,000 Kenya shillings to let her free.
Apparently, Brian Mutuku’s wife Wairimu Ndung’u had gone missing on the Friday of last week, September 17.
Following the kidnap, Mr. Mutuku received a call from the wife who was sounding as though she was in great danger. It is at that point that Wairimu told the husband that she had been kidnapped and those behind it wanted 200,000 shillings instantly to be freed.
With regards to where she was kidnapped, she claimed that her kidnappers caught up with her at Nairobi Central Business District as she walked along Loita street.
Feeling scared by the incident, the confused husband rushed to the Embakasi police station to report a missing person.
By then, Wairimu’s family and the husband had only managed to raise and send 17,000 Kenya shillings to the so called kidnappers.
However, little did the husband know that his kidnapped wife was busy warming the bed of her side lover who happens to be a cab driver.
This is what the DCI had to say:
“Unbeknownst to them, Wairimu had eloped with a cab driver to his one-roomed abode in Malaa, where they were enjoying soft life unperturbed, after withdrawing the sent amount
As days went by, the family became impatient and formed a WhatsApp group to make contributions towards her release.
A further Sh40,000 was sent on Monday and the two traveled from Malaa to Mtito-a-Ndei to withdraw the money, ostensibly to distract our eagle-eyed detectives who were on their trail. They were deeply misguided!”
Interestingly, there was a sudden turn of events as the detectives from Special Service Unit and Crime Research and Intelligence Bureau were about to bust the two as the kidnapper’s 21 year old girlfriend from JKUAT kept calling and texting him.
He had promised to take the Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology girlfriend on a weekend outing. Despite his efforts to explain to the girlfriend to postpone the outing, she insisted that he must come and pick her or else she would dump him like a hot potato.
Overwhelmed by threats of being dumped by JKUAT girlfriend, Mogire decided to change to another car in a bid to avoid the police radar on his way to pick the lady. He then brought her to the same one roomed house where they had been warming each other with the other man’s wife.
“The three had stayed together in the one-roomed abode since Monday, until Wednesday afternoon when they were apprehended in Sagana.
How Mogire convinced his campus girl to hang on and play ball yet she wasn’t part of the initial plan, still remains a puzzle.
Wairimu explained that she had forced her disappearance to get away from creditors, who were on her neck since she lost her job.” Said the detectives.
