A taxi driver from Nyeri was arrested for allegedly raping a lady who she was taking home. It was reported that there was a woman and her two friends who came from Circuit Lounge in Ruring’u and they had some argument and decided to solve it before they allowed the assaulted lady to go home.
The woman took the cab and she was to be dropped in her relative’s place. It is believed that she was going to be dropped where her relative stays because it was in the same area and vicinity from where the club was.
The lady narrated to the police officers that after boarding the vehicle, the driver increased the speed and went with her to Majengo. At Majengo, she parked the vehicle and then sexually assaulted her.
The driver then dropped her off to the place that she was going to. The incident took place during the odd hours of the night. The lady later sought for medical attention and she was treated and later discharged.
The man was arrested through the tracking of a phone. A phone had dropped in the vehicle and the man did not notice. He was later arrested by police officers who wore civilian clothes. They tracked the phone all the way to the place of work of the driver.
The lady who claimed to have been assaulted is believed to be a resident of Nairobi. She had just gone out with her friends in Nyeri. This was confirmed by Mr. Anthony Okuot who is the Nyeri OCPD.
