DCI said the boy's distraught mother Everline Nandera reported his "disappearance" at Embakasi police station, adding that her husband identified as Nemwel Ondari, 32, had left her a note demanding Ksh50,000 as ransom to release the minor.
She also revealed that he threatened to kill the boy should she delay paying the said ransom.
The DCI report read;
"Nandera told detectives that she had left their home in Embakasi’s Tel Aviv area at the crack of dawn, headed for Muthurwa market. But upon coming back at around 9:20 am, she found her husband and son missing.
"A note had been left behind by the husband Nemwel Ondari, 32, demanding a ransom of Sh50,000, for the release of the boy. In the note, the man also warned his wife that he would kill the boy using a kitchen knife which he had carried, should she try any monkey business."
After security operatives embarked on a rescue mission, the suspect was nabbed at the NMS Green Park matatu terminus off Haile Sellasie Avenue in Nairobi.
The report added;
"Immediately the woman filled her report at Embakasi police station, detectives from the elite Crime Research and Intelligence Bureau (CRIB) based at DCI Nairobi area were assembled and a manhunt for the suspect was launched.
"The detectives assisted by their Embakasi counterparts traced the suspect and arrested him at the NMS Green Park matatu terminus off Haile Sellasie avenue, a few hours later as he eagerly waited for the ransom to be deposited into his Mpesa account."
A preliminary investigation established that the couple had engaged in a heated disagreement the previous night leading to the incident.
