Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations have rescued a 9-year-old grade three pupil from a school in Donholm allegedly kidnapped by his teachers.

In a statement, DCI said the child's father, who had arrived at the school to pick up his son, discovered that the young boy was missing.

The detectives revealed that the distraught father was informed that his son's class teacher, identified as Erick Mosoti, had left the school premises in the company of the minor.

"The pupil's father had gone to fetch his son from school when he found him missing only to be informed that his class teacher Erick Mosoti, had left the school in the company of the minor," the statement read in part.

Shortly after realizing the child's disappearance, the father received a chilling call from the abductors, who were demanding a ransom of Ksh10 million for the safe return of his son.

Fearing for his child's safety, the concerned father promptly reported the abduction to the Buruburu police station. By Ascah Mwango, K24 Digital
