A notorious Kenyan
businessman from Nairobi has been charged with kidnapping and trafficking an
underage girl to a neighboring country for sexual exploitation. The suspect,
Abdi Hassan Mamad who appeared at a Magistrate court in Nairobi was charged
with twice kidnapping of a 16-year-old form school girl to Ethiopia.
During a recent court
hearing, the prosecutor said street boys were used to kidnaping the girl at
Eastleigh while on her way from School and drove her to Ethiopia last September
2016.
According to him, the
girl whose name was withheld was later found by Ethiopian security agents in
Adis Ababa.
'The girl was driven
beyond the Kenya border town of Moyale and taken to Adis Ababa where Ethiopian
security agents found her and reunited her with relatives who has accompanied Police

Again on Wednesday,
January 11, 2017, the accused allegedly kidnapped the girl around 8pm and then
bundled her into a waiting Probox car which took off at break-neck speed
towards north eastern. After the information got to the security personnel all
borders were immediately closed.
The suspect was
arrested in a hotel room, where he was hiding with the victim.
The accused was however
granted a cash bail of Sh100,000 until April 4, 2017, when the case will be
