The Ogaden National Liberation Front, a separatist rebel group fighting to make the region of Ogaden in eastern Ethiopia an independent state, was established in 1984.
The officials were allegedly abducted outside Arabian Cuisine in Upper Hill on January 26 and, according to Nairobi County Directorate of Criminal Investigations boss Nicholas Kamwende, witnesses positively identified the officers who allegedly committed the offence.
According to the CID boss, the abductors were using three cars but one of them, a black Toyota Prado, was later intercepted in Turbi.
The whereabouts of the two other cars is not known but it is suspected that they were driven into Ethiopia.
Some ONLF officials have alleged that security agencies from both Ethiopia and Kenya were involved in the kidnapping.
