Police in Limuru have arrested Mugo wa Wairimu who was recently accused of raping a patient at his clinic in Zimmerman estate, Kasarani in Nairobi.
Mr Mugo was arrested at Gitungo hotel in Limuru town where he had been booked in.
Limuru sub-county Administration Police Commander Michael Ndengwa confirmed the arrest of the man after a tip-off from the public.
“We arrested the suspect after members of public gave us a tip-off," Ndegwa said shortly after his arrest.
Mr Mugo has been on the run after a local television station aired a video of a man engaged in a sexual encounter with a person claimed to be a patient.
Mr Ndegwa said police have been pursuing the doctor after Director of Public Prosecution Keriako Tobiko ordered for investigations to be carried out following the incident that happened at Prestige Healthcare Centre.
He said the man on the run was arrested as he had lunch in the hotel.
Mr Mugo will be arraigned in court after conclusion of investigations, he added.
