A senior Nairobi police officer was on Monday arraigned before the Makadara Law Courts over allegations of kidnapping, robbery with violence and extortion targeting online business vendors, before the case was withdrawn. Investigators had alleged that what began as a routine online business delivery turned into a kidnapping and extortion ordeal. The prosecution alleged that the suspects forced Konrad to withdraw Sh17,000 before demanding a ransom of Sh1 million. Court documents indicated that Konrad discreetly alerted a bank teller, who notified security personnel and a nearby Special Crimes Prevention Unit patrol. Police had also indicated that several other suspects believed to have participated in the alleged operation remained at large.
