In a harrowing incident that has sent shockwaves through the community, a 9-year-old grade three pupil was abducted from a school in Donholm, Nairobi County, by suspected abductors believed to include rogue teachers.
The dramatic ordeal unfolded when the child's father arrived to fetch his son from school, only to discover his absence and learn that his class teacher, one Erick Mosoti, had left the school premises with the minor.
The distressing situation escalated when the father received a chilling phone call from the abductors, who were brazenly demanding a staggering sum of Sh10 Million in ransom for the safe release of his child. Without hesitation, the anguished father promptly reported the heart-wrenching incident to the Buruburu police station.
Responding swiftly to this grave crisis, a dedicated team of detectives, comprising members from the Nairobi Region Command and DCI Buruburu, initiated a comprehensive operation centered in the Kayole Sabasaba area.
Their tireless efforts ultimately bore fruit as they successfully located and rescued the terrified minor, who had been confined in a room, allegedly rented by another teacher, George Odhiambo, from the same school where the primary suspect, Erick Mosoti, had been employed.
