"A preliminary investigation has established that there was no kidnapping but rather love affairs, love triangle and family issues," NPS explained.
The police service disclosed that the two have been escorted to Nairobi for further interrogation and processing, even as it warned against the offence of giving false information to a public officer.
"The National Police Service takes the opportunity to emphasize that it is an offence under Section 129 of the Penal Code for anybody to give false information to a public officer, in this case, police officers," NPS stated.
