The suspect had been on the run and could communicate with his relatives in Kisii while on the move towards the border area.
He was among a group of bodaboda riders who confronted and harassed a female driver in the city in an incident that sparked a nationwide crackdown on the operators.
DCI said the suspect was scientifically placed at the crime scene before he was traced down to Mukuru Kaiyaba informal settlement.
He however managed to narrowly escape the detectives’ dragnet through a sewer duct in the densely populated settlement.
“Using digital forensics, the sleuths working with cybercrime experts at the DCI National Forensic Laboratory, placed the thug at the scene of the crime scientifically and went after him this afternoon deep in Mukuru Kayaba informal settlement,” police said.
The suspect is also said to have been positively identified on the video capturing the sexual assault incident by his wife and other relatives in his rural home.
While assuring of his looming arrest, the DCI further issued an ultimatum for Nyaora's accomplices to surrender saying that they too have been identified.
The other 16 accomplices were last week Thursday produced in court and police allowed to hold them as they conduct their investigations.
