In a statement, DCI indicated that Jane is wanted for various criminal offences including robbery with violence, impersonation and threatening to kill.

The woman allegedly masquerades as a private investigator and CEO of a company identified as Trimo Security Limited, DCI stated.

She is accused of drawing a pistol and threatening to kill a man over claims that he was spying for a relative of the director in a company where she was the private investigator. 

The incident happened on August 15th this year at New Muthaiga Estate, according to DCI.

“Ms. Jane Wawira Mugo, a serial criminal is wanted by the DCI, for various criminal activities including robbery with violence, personation and threatening to kill. A warrant of arrest to that effect was issued by Milimani Law Courts. To be arrested wherever she’s found,” said the DCI.

DCI said Wawira was in 2015 charged with detaining a man for several hours after coercing him to pay Sh440,000 to her.

In the same year, she was also accused of personating a public official whereby she stormed the office of a detained man’s lawyer and introduced herself as a cop. She went ahead to ransack the attorney’s house while creating a disturbance.

Jane is also alleged to have kidnapped a Nairobi businessman and locked him up in her office at Baba Dogo area before forcing him to pay a debt of Sh400,000.

In 2016, her workers identified as Isaac Ndirangu, Noreen Malala and Michael Gitau robbed a man of Sh90,000 which he had withdrawn from a bank. The three introduced themselves as police officers.

DCI appealed to anyone with information about her whereabouts to report to any nearest police station.

    DCI are not serious, she’s committed all those listed crimes for over a decade and she’s never been apprehended and held accountable for her actions?? Seriously!

    This shows how the DCI is corrupted.
    It's only when you have money, you can commit a crime and get away with it; But the law is for the poor common MWANAINCHI.
