A man lost over Ksh500,000 to a fake taxi driver in Nairobi after boarding an unverified vehicle outside a Lavington social spot on August 8. DCI detectives have since apprehended a suspect linked to the brazen theft.

• Over Ksh500,000 was transferred from the victim's accounts using his stolen phone.
• The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) arrested the suspect, who was found using fake registration plates and possessed multiple SIM cards and mobile phones.
• The DCI urges the public to use verified digital platforms for transport and confirm vehicle and driver details to avoid similar fraud cases.
