‘Gynaecologist’ and the owner of a clinic linked to a video showing a man raping an unconscious Mugo wa Wairimu was arrested in Limuru town on Thursday following a tip-off from the public.
Wairimu was arrested over allegations that he raped a patient at his Prestige Healthcare Centre in Githurai 44 and Zimmerman estates, Nairobi County.
Mr Mugo wa Wairimu was arrested on Thursday in Limuru, Administration Police Commander Stephen Ndegwa said.
Mr Ndegwa said the man was arrested at a hotel in Limuru while taking tea.
Mr Mugo Wa Wairimu posted on his Facebook page that he was in “the hands of Tigoni police”.
His post read: “Unbowed. Safely in the hands of Tigoni police”.
Kenyans took their frustrations to social media on Wednesday, asking the police to speed up the arrest; with some saying the police were being lenient on him.
The founder of Okoa Dada Kenya, Ms Diana Okello, expressed her dissatisfaction with the way police were handling the matter and threatened to mobilise women to demonstrate if the man was not arrested within 48 hours.
The video recorded using a hidden camera was broadcast on Citizen TV during prime time news on Sunday night.
According to the TV report, the video was recorded at the Prestige Health Care clinic in Githurai 44. The clinic is run by Mr Mugo. A medical board said he is not a qualified gynaecologist.
The video showed a woman on a doctor’s examination table and a man undressing before climbing onto the table and engaging in sex with the sedated woman.
Police had been searching for Wairimu, who is alleged to sedate and rape his patients, following DPP Keriako Tobiko’s directive for speedy investigations.
IG Joseph Boinnet ordered his officers to find Mugo and take him to court without delay.
He also appealed to victims or anyone else with information to present it to the Kasarani police station for action.
This follows a news report carried by Citizen TV showing footage of a man in a medical clinic, said to be owned Wairimu, engaging in sex with a seemingly unconscious woman.
