The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) on Friday, January 24, announced the arrest of a Kenyan involved in a private jet scam that defrauded a Nigerian national of Ksh12 million (150 million Naira). "Hawkshaws drawn from DCI Headquarters have arrested a suspect who earlier this month, with others who are yet to be arrested, conspired to defraud a Nigerian national of a sum of 150 million Naira (Ksh 12 million)," the DCI stated.
The DCI revealed that the Kenyan and his counterparts presented themselves as genuine businessmen with the capacity to facilitate the hiring of a private jet to transport unspecified investment funds from Kenya to Nigeria.
According to the DCI, the unsuspecting victim proceeded to make the Ksh12 million payment.
The victim later realised that he had been defrauded after the suspect and his cabal became unavailable.
