MOGADISHU (HORN OBSERVER) - Hafsa Mohamed Lukman, 23-year-old woman who was kidnapped by unknown people last week has been rescued by police.

According to her family, Lukman was found locked up in a house at Kayole, Nairobi.

Police took her to the local police station to record a statement before being taken to the hospital for check-up.

It is not clear why the kidnappers decided to abandon her there and leave but police said the scene was among those they had been focusing on.
Police and the family said no ransom was paid.


Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) also revealed that they had apprehended one suspect who is believed to part of the gang that had kidnapped Hafsa.

CCTV footage from Eastleigh showed the woman in her shop on June 16. She has not been found yet and no public ransom demands have been made again.

The captors sent a video to the family showing Hafsa badly injured on her face and had her eyes covered by a piece of clothe.

"I have been kidnapped, and they’re demanding ransom. Please, send it,” Lukman stated- her voice barely heard in the video due to the wounds and scars on her mouth.
