Garissa OCPD Moriasse Aron has said that police have launched investigations into the reports going round of alleged cases of child abductions.
Following the incident where a woman was intercepted stealing a day old child from Garissa hospital, Moriasse says the whole circle of child kidnappers is under investigations and the faces behind the vice will soon be unmasked.
The OCPD, however, says the Garissa incident is the first case to be reported to them although there have been widespread rumours that several children had been abducted in the recent past.
"This is the first case but the police are closely investigating the widespread allegations in order to establish whether child-trafficking syndicates are behind the theft," He said.
Moriasse further said that a team of police detectives are closely monitoring the phone data of the intercepted kidnapper, saying the move will shed more light on the child trafficking scandal.
