Police in Nairobi are holding a Ghanaian national for allegedly defrauding a Kenyan woman of Sh9 million.
The victim is a senior manager at Tala Agencies, a leading mobile money lending company that advances instant short-term loans to applicants.
The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) says the woman met the Ghanaian national named Victor Anane on an online dating site.
The suspect introduced himself as a preacher who performs miracles and promised to help the woman get promoted at her workplace instantly.
The foreigner further promised to help the senior manager turn her fortunes around if she fell in love with him
“Wowed by the man’s overtures, the lady was swept off her feet and fell for him,” DCI says.
The two dated for a while and as their love blossomed, the man invited her to his house at Transview estate in Athi River.
“By this time, she had already given her new boyfriend Sh9 million in unclear circumstances. Some of the money she is believed to have given him had been obtained from accounts belonging to Tala Agencies,” DCI added.
During her first visit to the self-confessed preacher’s residence, she was shocked to find paraphernalia associated with witchcraft and magical rituals.
“What was meant to be a romantic date turned ugly, as the woman demanded to know how the man of the cloth she had fallen in love with possessed paraphernalia associated with dark powers,” DCI adds.
This led to the collapse of their relationship and the victim discovered she had been conned.
DCI detectives raided the suspect’s house and recovered paraphernalia related to witchcraft, Sh76,000 in fake currency, and other materials used in the printing of fake notes.
Investigations revealed that the suspect masquerades as a preacher and approaches innocent women looking for love and affection online, with promises of making their lives better before conning them.
The suspect is being held in custody pending arraignment to face charges of obtaining money by false pretenses.

This could be one of those Selfish and Arrogant women (to Kenyan men) who Met her Match in Due season. SaSawa.
The fake man of the cloth is using a very familiar playbook.As such, you would think that people,in this case women would wise up to his tricks and shun him...
What the women fell for was not love for the man,but love for what he promised.
You would think that a manager would have move brains than to be conned like this. Defies logic.The best,and reliable miracle you can make is hardwork and disciple,meaning dont be greedy.
This was greed at its best.
HUSTLER'S nation.
She thought giving KANYAU was the key.
She deserves to lose the shs 9 million! Why is she going to see a witch doctor? I wish to list three times that amount! Nonsense!
Mixing love and biz is dangerous. Mixing love, Christianity and witchcraft and biz is toxic to the max. Ghanaian this time. I bet naija was on half time break.
You will eventually find out the witch doctor was Nigerian; very possible jd igbo community! They have terrorized the world enough! Enough is just enough! The igbos are Ruto people - Ruto is the new muganga in the city! He worships the Igbo gods naked at night!
Bad luck but think twice before you give money out
Congratulations Victor for conning the senseless/dump so-called manager off her PENGENYE plus shs 9m.I hope you will continue fucking more of these loose women who follow anybody pretending to be Yethu’s disciple or brother.Na nyinyi Kinoti and Haji should desist from prosecuting these LOVE/SEX/HEAT/ERECTION/JOTO/MURUKI cases.This is just a simple case of misunderstanding between two lovebirds.Anane will win the case even without bribing the KARAMBU GANG.
