Prime suspect in Mombasa blogger Bruce’s abduction arrested

DCI detectives have arrested the prime suspect in the abduction and sexual assault of Mombasa based blogger Bruce John Khajira.

Omar Ali Mohamed was arrested at the Lunga Lunga border as he attempted to flee to Tanzania thanks to eye-hawk detectives working at the border.

“One of the prime suspects in the September 12 abduction and subsequent sexual harassment of blogger Bruce John Khajira aka Chawa – 001 has been arrested at the Lunga Lunga border while trying to flee to Tanzania. The suspect has been identified as Omar Ali Mohamed alias Nyanya.

Omar Ali has been on the run since the commission of the diabolical act, and his arrest today is a culmination of days and nights of vigilance by duty-bound detectives working jointly with the Immigration Department, who were privy to the plans by the masterminds to sneak out of the country all those implicated in the perversion.” said DCI

Forensic investigations into the incident placed Omar at the scene and confirmed that he indeed hired a vehicle that was used to abduct the blogger from his house to the scene before dumping him at Mwakirunge area.

“In the painstaking investigation conducted by a select team of DCI Hqs detectives, Omar Ali was forensically placed at both the primary and secondary scenes of the incident, besides being in constant communication with other known perpetrators before, during and after the incident.

Notably, detectives at the Digital Forensics Lab identified the motor vehicle make Nissan Note grey in colour and registration number KDQ 394C, in which the victim was bundled from his house to the scene.

The vehicle had been hired by Omar Ali on 20th August, 2024 and returned on 12th September in the evening after the fiendish gang completed their hellish mission. The car has since been intercepted and detained.

Crime researchers were also able to forensically place the said car at the primary scene (where the victim was sexually assaulted) at a County Government of Mombasa construction site within Bonje Area for about 2 hours, before revving to Mwakirunge area where the victim was dumped.” said DCI
