The Directorate of Criminal Investigations has reported the arrest of a land fraudster suspected of conning a woman out of Ksh12 million on a fake land deal.
In a statement on Sunday, April 13, the DCI stated that the 44-year-old was arrested after he sold an already-owned piece of land in the Garissa municipality to the unsuspecting woman.
According to the DCI, payments for the land were made in instalments to the suspect between June 29 and November 21, 2023.
He was nabbed by Kilimani detectives after records from the Garissa Lands Registry revealed a different owner for the piece of land.
