The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) on Friday announced that it was looking into the suspicious abduction case involving a Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) student.
The student had allegedly called her brother and informed him that she had been abducted and the kidnappers were demanding Sh20,000 as ransom.
The student's brother immediately sent her the money upon which her phone was switched off. The brother informed detectives about the incident and the girl was later traced to a party at Thika Road Mall where she was found in the company of her boyfriend.
"Detectives launched forensic trails leading them to the party venue. While observing their reactions, the boyfriend was contacted and asked to go and record a statement with police on the issue. The lady immediately switched on her phone and called the mother saying she had just been dropped at Galleria Mall in Karen," DCI stated in a tweet.
The Sh20,000 that was sent to her was, however, still in her M-Pesa account.
The DCI detectives arrested a group of students who were at the party, including the 19-year-old girl and her boyfriend.
"Following an alleged yet suspicious abduction report of a 19-Year-Old KMTC- Mbagathi Student, #DCI detectives are interviewing a group of university students arrested at Thika Road Mall including the alleged victim & her boyfriend. This is after the lady was traced at a party..," DCI tweeted.
