Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) Nairobi Regional Headquarters have apprehended Daniel Mbugua Njogu, a 30-year-old man accused of orchestrating a widespread fraud scheme.

The suspect, popularly known as Dan, was arrested at his residence in the Kimbo area on allegations of defrauding unsuspecting victims under the guise of forex trading.

The arrest follows an intensive investigation by the DCI, after several complaints were lodged by victims who had lost substantial amounts of money.

Njogu is said to have promised his victims massive returns on investments through forex trading, a lucrative financial market known for its high-risk, high-reward opportunities.

However, instead of delivering on his promises, he allegedly swindled them out of their hard-earned cash.

“Detectives from DCI Nairobi Regional Headquarters have arrested Daniel Mbugua Njogu, also known as Dan, at his residence in the Kimbo area.

Mr. Njogu, aged 30, is accused of defrauding numerous individuals under the guise of forex trading.

His arrest follows an extensive investigation into fraudulent activities that misled and exploited members of the public seeking financial gains through forex investments.

The arrest of Mr. Njogu confirms the DCI’s commitment to tackle financial crimes and protect citizens from fraudulent schemes.

Individuals who may have been deceived by Njogu’s actions or who may have lost money are urged to come forward and report their cases at the DCI’s Nairobi area offices.

As financial fraud remains a significant risk, members of the public are strongly advised to exercise caution when engaging in forex trading or any other online investment activities.

It is crucial to verify the legitimacy of brokers and trading platforms before entrusting them with any amount of money,” DCI stated.

The suspect is currently in police custody, awaiting arraignment.

The DCI has urged any other victims of the scheme to come forward and report their cases, assuring them that investigations are ongoing to bring justice to those affected.

Authorities have further warned the public to exercise caution when engaging in online investment opportunities, especially in the highly volatile forex trading sector.
