DCI arrests man defrauding young college girls

Over the weekend, DCI officers nabbed a young man who has been defrauding young college girls in the city.

According to the DCI, the man identified as Rashid Barasa has been preying on the young ladies through their social media pages.

He scouts for those posting comments on tour and travel companies then reaches out to them promising to take them to the said destinations.

After successfully convincing his victims to meet up with him, he sends them bus fare then meets them at lodgings in the city, defrauds them then he flees to his hideout.

The DCI appealed to young women to be careful not to fall for such tricks while using social media networks.
