Detectives have arrested five suspects in a rapid, coordinated operation targeting mobile banking fraud syndicates in Mulot, a hotspot long linked to tech-savvy scammers.
The Sunday sting, conducted at the busy Mulot market, led to the arrest of Daniel Njenga Njeri, Salome Chepngeno, Nelson Kipsang Langat, Erick Cheruiyot, and Geofrey Cheruiyot.
According to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations, the suspects are currently in custody as officers process them ahead of arraignment. They are expected to face multiple charges, including conspiracy to defraud, involvement in organised crime, and acquiring proceeds of crime, among other offences related to mobile money fraud.
The DCI says the operation is part of an intensified crackdown to dismantle criminal networks exploiting digital financial platforms and defrauding unsuspecting Kenyans.
Investigations continue as authorities pursue more suspects believed to be linked to the Mulot-based fraud ring.
