Detectives have rescued two kidnapped women who were abducted in Nyeri and taken to Nairobi by two abductors, whose motives are not yet known.
The two prime suspects in the kidnapping syndicate have been arrested by DCI detectives in Thika West.
The suspects were apprehended by the DCI following a tip-off from members of the public in the Muguga area, who noted suspicious activity involving two distressed women, locked up in a rented house.
Following the reports, detectives raided the house and found the victims crying, visibly traumatised, and showing evidence of physical abuse, with the DCI stating that the suspects had confiscated the victims' phones to prevent them from calling for help.
