The kidnappers initially demanded Sh1 million for the release of the two young women.
Ms Erica Njeri and her friend Shanice Agose were abducted a week ago in Nairobi's Westlands after boarding a taxi.
Two kidnappers, who police believe are part of a wider criminal network, scored their own goal on Sunday when they began ransom negotiations with the family of a media personality after kidnapping her daughter and her friend.
The kidnappers initially demanded Sh1 million for the release of the two young women, but reduced it to Sh500,000 with each paying Sh250,000, a detective who was part of the team that tracked them down told the Nation on Monday.
