A child kidnapped from Nairobi was found in a Nakuru hotel room.
On Monday a house girl had taken a two year old from the Zimmerman Estate in Nairobi. Yesteday the child’s father Gibson Ngugi travelled to Nakuru to pick the baby.
Ngugi said that he has been combing the neighbourhood in search of the child, but was called by the Nakuru Central police to come and pick the baby.
"The house-girl I had just employed last week had left the kid in this hotel. The hotel staff reported to the Police and that is how I came to know of the baby's whereabouts,” he said.
Ngugi said that house-girl who he identified as Joyce Nafula Wekesa had been asking him for a ransom of Sh20,000, and that she had threatened consequences should he fail pay.
"The girl could call me and ask me for money, threatening to the child," he said.
Ngugi said he couldn't understand the girl's actions as she had just started working for the family.
