A Ugandan nanny who has been on the run following her involvement in a daring robbery plot targeting her employer in Nairobi’s Eastleigh area has been arrested.
Nabalayo Everline Loice, 23, has been taken into custody by detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) Starehe after a robbery incident that unfolded on November 1, 2024.
According to reports filed at Pangani Police Station, Nabalayo was in the house with a colleague housemaid when she intentionally opened the door, admitting an unknown assailant armed with a hammer.
“In a shocking turn of events, the duo reportedly assaulted the other maid, leaving her for dead in the bathroom,” the DCI reports.
They reportedly made off with a haul that included a gold set valued at KSh210,000, a Lenovo XY laptop worth KSh110,000, and an Infinix phone priced at KSh15,000.
“After days of manhunt, detectives have finally apprehended Nabalayo at Kariokor while she was attempting to escape on a bus bound for Uganda.”
She is currently in police custody undergoing processing, pending arraignment.
Meanwhile, the manhunt for her accomplice, who remains at large, is still in full swing.
