Detectives have arrested an international fugitive accused of direct involvement in organised crime while in Sudan.
Mohamed Nagi was flushed out of his hideout in Nairobi City following a stealth operation conducted by Transnational and Organised Crimes detectives at the University of Nairobi staff quarters.
DCI boss George Kinoti said his arrest followed a tip-off from the public.
"Arrangements to extradite the suspect to his home country where he will face justice are in top gear. The Directorate is looking for the next available flight to Khartoum to hand him over to Sudanese authorities," Kinoti said.
Kinoti said the directorate has registered an increase in arrests of international fugitives wanted for serious crimes in their countries in recent months.
This comes barely a week after one of the two men wanted by the US government was arrested following a tip-off of his hideout in Nairobi.
Badru Abdul Aziz Saleh was detained at the Gigiri police cells after his arrest.
He and Abdi Hussein Ahmed, who is at large, had a Sh233 million bounty on their heads for trafficking wildlife and narcotics to the USA.
The United States government on April 26 offered a ransom of Sh233 million for information leading to the arrest or conviction of the two Kenyans.
The US offered up to $2 million (Sh233 million) for both suspects.
