Police in Nairobi are holding a foreign national for allegedly robbing a Kenyan woman he met on a dating site.
The suspect identified as Alfred Mumoh Bangura met the victim, Joyce Mbalo, on the Badoo dating site, according to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI).
After chatting online for a few days, the two agreed to meet up physically to get to know each other better, with the intent of dating and entering into a relationship.
They met at a gas station in Nairobi’s Marurui area from where they drove towards Kahawa West in the suspect’s vehicle. Along the way, the man turned against Joyce and robbed her, leaving her in distress.
Joyce, a resident of Ruaka in Kiambu County, was robbed of her phone worth Sh25,000 and other valuables.
Detectives trailed the suspect and arrested him on Wednesday and later arraigned him in court. He is currently being held at Industrial Area Remand Prison.
Upon his arrest, it was established that Bangura is a Sierra Leonean national and did not have proper documentation to be in the coutry.

@ KK,it hard to know who had the honest intention.People on dating sites lie alot. there is no way the lady would have known if the guy was presenting his true image,same with the lady. Hey she could have been the one planning to rob him.Only this time she was out smarted.Common sense. It takes time to know somebody. Very few scammers,or thieves have that patience.
Another 2b lost due to recklessness
How is this news or is it because it is a foreigner.How do you get into a car with someone you have just known for a few days unless you were up to no good.Two con artists it is a matter of who reacted first.The player just got played life continues
All that glitters is not gold.
Like I always say, it goes both way. Some of these girls have drugged me and robbed foreign men. It’s unfortunate she got robbed. You can’t get in a man’s car you just met. Not a wise decision on her part.
