Detectives arrested one Abraham Kimeli, a notorious fraudster who duped an unsuspecting job seeker by masquerading as the personal assistant to the Head of Public Service.
His elaborate ruse cost the victim Sh130,000.
In February 2024, a woman working in Lebanon connected with a follower on TikTok who went by the name “City Tycoon.”
Seeking a way not to return to Lebanon when her contract is over, she asked the alleged “city tycoon” for help in securing a permanent job back in Kenya.
What followed was a web of deception that would ensnare any unsuspecting victim, police investigations show.
With charm and confidence, the fraudster provided his mobile number and painted a false image of himself as a key player in government affairs.
Earning the woman’s trust, he crafted a convincing narrative about a job opportunity, complete with a seemingly legitimate document purportedly from the Public Service Commission.
As the fraudster continued his deceitful game, he began demanding facilitation fees, which prompted the woman to enlist her employer’s help in sending money through Western Union.
