After weeks of surveillance and relentless hunt for the operational base of a city gold scamming ring, DCI sleuths have today discovered the quarters and rounded up 14 suspects linked to over USD 1.35M gold scam.

Acting on forensic-led intelligence, the resilient detectives identified and raided the house where the transaction and smelting of a purported load of 2,820kg of gold was executed on diverse dates between March and May, 2024, a long con that left an American businessman poorer than he jetted the country.

At the House No. 53 located along Chalbi Drive within Lavington area of Nairobi, Ronald Osonga Khejiria, Emmanuel Wafula Thatcher, Willy Kiplimo Metto, Sharon Achieng Ouma, Tracey Achieng, Luck Bahaya Butelezi, Willis Odhiambo Koyi, Erina Notoila Gitau, Edgar Wafula Odinga, Patrick Kariuki Mahugu, Denis Osoo, Boniface Nemesis Waswa, John Michugu Gathaira and Eliud Wachira Githaiga, all found occupying various offices and posts therein were arrested.

Also seized from the premises were assorted documents, files, stamps and seals used to scam the complainant and other victims that ever fall for the scammers’ con tricks.

Earlier, two other suspects (Eric Kalala Mukendi and Antonucci Sergio Patrick) had been arraigned on the same case, with the first mention coming up on January 23, 2025 at Milimani Law Courts.

Meanwhile, the exhibits have been documented as suspects undergo processing ahead of their arraignment, Monday.
