Authorities Arrest Suspects in Major Land, Job, and Military Impersonation Scams - December 2025

Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) have apprehended a suspect responsible for the fraudulent acquisition of a Ksh200 million land parcel in Karen, Nairobi. The individual was arrested after allegedly forging a deed of gift to unlawfully claim the property. In a separate case, an investigation revealed an elaborate recruitment scam on TikTok where scammers use fake overseas job offers, ask for large “processing fees,” and deliver forged documents to victims. Additionally, a man accused of impersonating a Kenya Air Force Brigadier and defrauding parents of aspiring recruits was dramatically rearrested at the Milimani Law Courts on December 9, 2025. This followed his initial arrest on November 17, 2025, and release on bond for similar charges.
