The DCI said a macbook, mobile phone and other items stolen from the man were recovered.
In the CCTV that went viral on social media, two men are seen robbing a pedestrian at 6am, at gunpoint leaving him helpless as they sped off in a waiting motorbike.
Such cases have been on the increase in the leafy suburbs of Kilimani, Kileleshwa and Lavington where they also target people jogging in the morning or evening.
A man who had provided one of them with refuge in Pangani was arrested.
