Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) on Thursday arrested a woman and her daughter for allegedly kidnapping her employer’s child.
47-year-old Leah Muhonja, who works as a house help, allegedly kidnapped the 7-year-old boy from her Nairobi employer before demanding Sh3 million ransom to release him.
DCI said the boy was abducted from his parents’ home in Nairobi’s Loresho estate and was rescued by detectives from the Child Protection Unit.
The suspect was arrested after sleuths placed bait pretending they had the Sh3 million ransom the kidnapper was demanding to return the boy.
Police said the maid colluded with her 23-year-old daughter, Charlotte Msimbi to commit the crime.
The boy, who was abducted on Tuesday, was reunited with his family at their home on Thursday.
The house help’s daughter is reported to have driven to the boy’s home in a salon car and picked the boy.
In a police report, Muhonja said an unknown female came to the house saying he had been sent by the boy’s mother to pick him up.
“Report made to the police had alleged that an unknown female to the House Help had been given permission by the boy’s mother (who is abroad) to take the boy alongside another child for dinner and that the father would later pick him up,” DCI said in a statement.
The boy was found locked in a rented house belonging to Ms. Msimbi in Kawangware.

Avalogooli va karuunu varoraanga ezisoni komoroma L’logooli kaandi kwiiranga amiita aga Valogooli. Ni kuri Vagikuyu daave, Avagikuyu vaveeye ne zisoni dave komoroma Lugikuyu.
Tafsiri:
Ndugu yangu: Walogooli ni watu ambao wameacha mila za Mloogoli (baba wa Valogooli). Ni watu ambao wamelaaniwa na mababu na mabibi/nyanya zao.
Walogooli wa siku hizi wanaona aibu kusema lugha yao na pia kujiita majina ya asili yao. Si kama Wagikuyu ambao wanajivunia kusema lugha yao.
