The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) detectives have arrested two suspects for obtaining money from members of the public on the pretext that they would assist them in securing job opportunities.
In a statement on Friday, September 29, DCI said that the two suspects were arrested along Ngong Road after they defrauded unsuspecting Kenyans Ksh 880,000.
“David Thuo Njehia and Kyalo Kilonzo were arrested along Ngong Road, after defrauding unsuspecting members of the public more than Sh880,000,” DCI stated.
The two suspects were posing as employees of the Nairobi Water and Sewerage Company and promised Kenyans seeking employment jobs in state corporations and agencies.

“Detectives pounced on the two moments before they received an additional Sh100,000 from a gullible jobseeker who had been promised a plum permanent and pensionable position at the Nairobi Water and Sewerage company,” said the DCI.
The detectives further noted that the two are wanted fraudsters after previously jumping bail over a similar offense.
“Upon interrogation, it was established that the miscreants are habitual fraudsters wanted by detectives based at Dandora after they previously jumped bail for a similar offense,” DCI noted.
