Suspected Fraudster Who Falsely Obtained over Sh10 Million Arrested at JKIA on His Way to Dubai
A suspected fraudster accused of obtaining more than Sh10 million by false pretenses has been arrested at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA).
Innocent Oundo Sillingi was nabbed by detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) at the airport on Thursday while preparing to fly to Dubai, the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Oundo is said to have obtained the money while posing as a director of Project Capital Solutions, a company involved in financing and implementation of projects in Kenya, according to the DCI. The company is linked to a parent organization based in the US.
He pretended he was in a position to arrange for letters of credit, discounting of documents facility for suppliers, and credit funding program.
“Further, the suspect claimed he would also finance the supply of both the project and working capital under certain terms and conditions,” the DCI said in a statement.
He was placed under police custody pending arraignment to face fraud-related charges.

I will equally be grateful and impressed if the DCI can arrest the Kenyan most notorious con artist of selling nonexistent plots to senior citizens by the name Samuel Maina of URITHI and the entire URITHI Management Team and put them to their rightful place at Kamiti Prison Block-B and the ladies in the Management Team at Langata Women Maximum Security Prison. Washidwe katika Jina na wote tuseme (AMEN)!
