DCI Detectives Nabs TWO Women In Nairobi With FAKE NPS Calling Letters

Detectives detained two women on Tuesday, December 9, for reportedly peddling phoney National Police Service (NPS) recruiting letters to desperate job seekers in the Nairobi CBD.

Following complaints from the public, some of whom had fallen for their fraud in the crowded Kencom area, the two were taken into custody.

The DCI claims that the suspects persuaded job seekers to give a bribe in exchange for NPS calling letters by luring them with the prospect of assured employment.

Detectives used intelligence to launch an operation that led to the two women’s arrest and the recovery of Ksh320,000, which they thought to be the proceeds of their fraud.

The suspects were cross-examined, and detectives discovered that the couple were part of a larger plan that was tracked back to the Upper Hill area.

A third accomplice, who was thought to be operating in the same location, escaped when he learned that the police were hunting for him.

However, he abandoned his Mazda station wagon, allowing authorities to retrieve two more fraudulent NPS letters.

The discovery of further bogus letters supplied investigators with enough information to conclude that the three persons were participating in a bigger operation targeting job applicants.

Incidentally, the latest arrests came a day after another suspect whose name resembles that of Deputy Inspector General Gilbert Masengeli was charged with defrauding Kenyans of Ksh2 million in a fake police recruitment scam.

The suspect had allegedly promised seven parents of unsuspecting job seekers positions within the NPS in exchange for money.

A week earlier, another suspect extorted Ksh2.5 million from unsuspecting Job seekers in a similar manner.
