Police officers have arrested one of Nairobi’s most wanted robbery with violence suspects.
The dangerous suspect was apprehended Monday night by the OCS Huruma police station, following an attack on a couple on their way home from work.
According to the DCI, the OCS heading his anti-mugging unit on a motorcycle pursued the criminals, who were backed up by his comrades in a Land Cruiser.
The suspect’s motorcycle later collided with the pavement, and one of the thugs managed to flee by plunging into a stormwater tunnel while the culprit was captured.
“During interrogation, it was determined that the suspect, George Ngugi alias Choku, had been arrested in 2011 for criminal preparation and was freed on cash bail,” the agency stated.

According to detectives, the defendant was caught again in 2012 for the same offence and was in possession of narcotics.
Detectives are still trying to figure out how he got out of the cells a week ago.
