Two arrested for receiving money by false pretence

Two suspects, who have been on the run, have finally been arrested by detectives for receiving money by false pretence from members of the public.

The duo, David Thuo Njehia and Kyalo Kilonzo, have had a tendency of obtaining money from unsuspecting public on the pretext that they would assist them in securing job opportunities.

David Thuo Njehia and Kyalo Kilonzo, were arrested along Ngong Road, after defrauding unsuspecting members of the public more than Sh880,000. Posing as employees of the Nairobi Water and Sewerage Company, the duo have been taking advantage of desperate Kenyans seeking employment by promising to offer them jobs in government agencies and state corporations.

Detectives pounced on the two moments before they would received an additional Sh100,000 from another gullible jobseeker, who had been promised a plum permanent and pensionable position at the Nairobi Water and Sewerage company. Upon interrogation, it was established that the miscreants are habitual fraudsters wanted by detectives based at Dandora after they previously jumped bail for a similar offence of recieving money by pretence.
