DCI Arrests Fraudsters Posing As KRA Officials And Blackmailing Businessmen Over Tax Evasion
DCI detectives are holding three suspects; John Ajode Odhiambo, Joel Amino & Erick Otieno who impersonated KRA officials and had earlier demanded for Ksh. 500,000 bribe from a businessman to forestall investigations into an alleged tax evasion case.
The three had attempted to dupe the victim, who works with a distillers company within Nairobi. Suspicious of the deal, the case was reported and the sleuths laid a string operation where the suspects walked right into the trap.
Police confiscated assorted documents used in the fraud scheme and will be arraigned in court.
Elsewhere, DCI officers yesterday smoked out another scammer Paul Mwangi Warutere a notorious fraudster who between the months of July & August 2020 defrauded unsuspecting victims over Ksh. 16.9 Million by duping them to fund a non-existent WHO container supply contract from his hideout in Ngong.
The suspect has a number of cases pending in various courts within Nairobi, including a Ksh.13.7M case defrauded from a woman and which is pending before Milimani Law Courts.
He will be arraigned on Monday 31st August, 2020.
