The Directorate of Criminal Investigations has announced the capture of one of Nairobi’s most wanted criminal, popularly refered to as Spiderman.

Mr. Michael Joseph Otieno Odhiambo alias ‘Spiderman’ was nabbed at Greenhous building along Ngong road.

He was found in possession of pliers, a cutter, a hacksaw and a ransack bag.

Police also recovered several laptops believed to be part of items stolen by Spiderman.

The suspect earned the name as a result of his prowess in scaling walls of apartments moving effortlessly from one floor to another to gain entry.
