Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) have identified the mastermind behind the sexual harassment of a female motorist along Wangari Maathai road on Friday last week. 

According to DCI, the suspect was identified as Zachariah Nyaora Obadia. 

"This is after undercover agents drawn from the elite Crime Research & Intelligence Bureau (CRIB) and DCI Nairobi Regional Headquarters, arrowed down on the suspect identified as Zachariah Nyaora Obadia. Using digital forensics, the sleuths working with cybercrime experts at the DCI National Forensic Laboratory, placed the thug at the scene of the crime scientifically and went after him this afternoon deep in Mukuru Kaiyaba informal settlement," DCI said.

According to the detectives, the suspect who is aware of the ongoing crackdown, escaped the dragnet by a whisker. 

"The suspect who is aware of the ongoing crackdown on errant boda boda riders escaped our dragnet by a whisker, via a sewer duct in the densely populated settlement. The suspect has also been positively identified by his wife and other relatives in his rural home, sexually assaulting the victim in the widely shared videotape. It is only a matter of time before we arrest him.

"The Directorate of Criminal Investigations is cautioning Zacharia Nyaora Obadia, not to engage detectives in cat and mouse games but to surrender at DCI headquarters or the nearest Police station within 24 hours," DCI stated.
