Speaking to the press, the DCI said that the man became aware of his impending arrest after some Kenyans who know him personally began sharing details of his location.
The man is said to have took the victim, who is an eight year old son with him during his early morning escape. However, immediately the officers arrived at his home and found him missing, a man hunt was launched for the man who is said to be within the Nakuru radius.
Authorities claim that anyone with information of the whereabouts of the man to report to the nearest police station as the son is in danger given the mistreatment he was receiving from the father in the viral video.
“The suspect’s whereabouts are unknown, and the safety of the little boy may be at stake. We appeal to anyone who has information that could assist in rescuing the kid to share with us by reporting at any police station.”
