A 26-year-old university dropout has been arrested for allegedly hacking a major betting company and stealing Kshs 11.4 million. The suspect, a second-year IT dropout from the University of Meru, was apprehended in his Tatu City apartment after being tracked by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI).

• Kshs 11.4 million was stolen from the betting company by bypassing its digital security systems.
• The suspect, claiming to be a cybersecurity engineer, stated, "This is what I do" to officers, asserting his activities were "independent consultancy" rather than theft.
• Regional Criminal Investigations Officer, Central Region, Abraham Mugambi, reported that investigations began in July, and confirmed the suspect had executed similar crimes targeting other major brands.
• The DCI recovered several computers, laptops, a money-counting machine, and a safe from the suspect's apartment, vowing to combat digital fraud in the country.
