Zachariah Nyaora Obadia, the main suspect behind the Forest Road incident, has been arrested by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) at the Kenya-Tanzania border.
“Zachariah Nyaora Obadia, the country’s most wanted suspect who has been on the run for sexual assault has been arrested.” DCI said.
Obadia who masterminded the ghastly sexual attack on a woman along Wangari Maathai road, has been arrested minutes ago at the Kenya-Tanzania border in Sirare.
“Sleuths from the elite Crime Research and Intelligence Bureau augmented by a section of detectives from Nairobi DCI Regional command, pounced on him as he tried to cross the border to Tanzania through a panya route.”
Obadia has been on the run since last week after escaping through a sewer duct in Mukuru Kaiyaba and since then, he has been engaging detectives in hide and seek games.
Using digital forensics, cybercrime experts at the DCI National Forensic Laboratory, had earlier placed him at the scene of the crime scientifically before launching a manhunt.
