Police sources told The Nation that the suspect had been involved in the abduction of people in his area.
The suspect whose name has not been disclosed was reportedly arrested on Tuesday, along with three members of his gang.
Their arrest by security operatives it was learnt, followed a credible intelligence provided by people in the neighbourhood.
The police operatives led by the head of police tactical squad were said to have stormed his house early on Tuesday morning to catch him unawares.
