Detectives for the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) have arrested the prime suspect in the sexual assault of a female motorist on Wangari Maathai Road.

The suspect identified as Zachariah Nyaora Obadia was arrested on Monday, 14th March at the Kenya-Tanzania border while attempting to cross into Tanzania.

“Sleuths from the elite Crime Research and Intelligence Bureau augmented by a section of detectives from Nairobi DCI Regional command, pounced on him as he tried to cross the border to Tanzania through a panya route,” the DCI said in a statement

His arrest comes a week after the uproarious harassment incident that sparked nationwide outrage.

Nyaora has been on the run since last week when he escaped a police dragnet in Mukuru Kaiyaba, through a sewer duct.

“Since then, he has been engaging detectives in hide and seek games until his arrest moments ago,” said DCI.

Using digital forensics, cybercrime experts at the DCI National Forensic Laboratory had earlier placed the boda boda operator at the scene of the crime scientifically, before launching a manhunt for him.

The suspect was flown to Nairobi and he is being processed before his arraignment.

Nyaora is among several Boda Boda operators who were caught on camera assaulting the woman after an accident involving one of their own on Friday, 5th March.

Some 16 riders were arrested and arraigned last week however, the court ordered the suspects to be detained for 15 days pending the conclusion of investigations into the incident.
