Criminals in Kenya have decided to be bold enough to the extent of exploiting both the president and 1 st lady’s name in achieving their ambitious desires.
Seven suspects were arraigned in a Nairobi court on Monday for allegedly conning Sameer Africa Chairman Nashud Merali Ksh.10 million, while posing as President Uhuru Kenyatta.
The accused; Joseph Waswa, Duncan Muchai, Isaac Wajekeche, William Simiyu, David Luganya, Gilbert Kirunja and Anthony Wafula, were not charged as the prosecution sought more time to complete investigations.
So well organised are the criminals, that they have perfected the art of mimicking the President’s voice to near perfection.
Investigators say the conmen, operate as State House officials.
The caller, who imitates Uhuru and speaks in a voice almost similar to that of the President, tells businessmen of major government works which he asks them to take up.
The seven were arrested on Friday and Saturday in a sting operation by detectives from the DCI.
During the operation, police recovered from the suspects four vehicles including a Toyota Land Cruiser V8, Toyota Mark X , Toyota Axio and Toyota Crown.
