By Jael Mboga | Nov. 7, 2020

A young man linked to the disappearance of young college girls from their homes has been arrested in Nairobi today.
 
Detectives attached to the Serious Crimes Unit arrested suspect Rashid Omari (pictured) following the spate of disappearances of the girls.
 
The 21-year-old is said to prey on his victims and later coerce them to meet him.
 
Omari allegedly fishes his victims from the comments section appearing on Tour and Travel advertisements.
 
He is said to present himself as a person in a position to sponsor his victims to the advertised destinations.
 
Some of the items recovered in suspect Rashid Omari's house believed to belong to his victims.

Omari instead lures the young girls to lodgings in Nairobi after sending them bus fare.
