Boda Boda Rider Who Kidnapped and Raped Foreign National Arrested

Detectives on Saturday, April 2, arrested a boda boda rider who abducted a foreign national and raped her before abandoning her in a forest. 

Protas Onsongo, was seized by agents on Friday afternoon as he attempted to flee the city to evade arrest, following his beastly act.

"In an unfortunate incident reported at Ongata Rongai police station this morning, the youthful woman recounted amid tears how the boda boda rider forced himself on her before leaving her in the dense Ololulua forest in Ngong, Kajiado County. Earlier at around 4:30am the woman in the company of 2 other friends left Club 1824, a popular joint along Langata road, after a night of merrymaking.

"At the parking, the three foreigners hailed three motorbikes to drop them at a hotel in the CBD, where they had reserved their rooms. But just after they had joined Langata road headed towards the city centre, the victim’s motorbike that was last to leave the parking made a sudden detour and sped towards Bomas of Kenya direction. The victim realized that all was not well when she noticed a lot of vegetation that is characteristic of the Ongata Rongai route," DCI said. 

She tried raising alarm but her efforts were in vain, as the bike sped precariously towards Oloolua forest.

In a well coordinated operation that also involved the National Transport and Safety Authority, (NTSA) the suspect was intercepted in Ngong at around 3pm, as he attempted to flee the city.
