Detectives from Imenti North have arrested three individuals implicated in a fraud scheme that allegedly siphoned more than Ksh22.4 million from a savings and credit cooperative society (SACCO).<\/p>\n
According to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), investigations uncovered a sophisticated fraud network in which suspects manipulated the SACCO\u2019s computerised financial systems to illegally access and transfer funds.<\/p>\n
At the center of the scheme is Allan Karani, the SACCO\u2019s ICT Assistant Officer, who is alleged to have masterminded the operation.<\/p>\n
Further investigations revealed that accounts associated with Tony Mwenda, Sharon Kendi, Brivin Dentel, and Mawingu Plus Ltd were used to receive and withdraw the stolen funds.<\/p>\n
The first breakthrough in the case came on June 4, 2026, when Tony Mwenda was arrested. Authorities subsequently obtained custodial orders to facilitate further investigations.<\/p>\n
On June 10, 2026, detectives conducted a coordinated operation that led to the arrest of Allan Karani, Betty Kanana, and Sharon Kendi.<\/p>\n
During the operation, officers recovered several mobile phones and a company laptop, which have been seized for forensic analysis as investigators seek to establish the full extent of the fraud.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat was supposed to be a haven for savings has turned into a nightmare for many, with evidence indicating that a conspiracy involving multiple suspects was at play, utilising the SACCO\u2019s electronic systems to orchestrate their fraud,\u201d the DCI said in a statement.<\/p>\n
The three suspects remain in police custody and are awaiting arraignment.<\/p>\n
