According to a report lodged at Mwihoko Police Station, a domestic altercation erupted at Wambui's shop in Delta area of Mwihoko Township. During the confrontation, the husband allegedly stabbed the wife on the right side of the chest with a spearhead, inflicting injuries that proved fatal before fleeing the scene. Officers responded swiftly to the scene, discovering Wambui lying in a pool of her own blood, bleeding profusely. Despite their swift action, rushing her to Kenyatta University, Teaching, Referral and Research Hospital (KUTRRH), she was sadly pronounced dead upon arrival. Her body has since been transferred to Kenyatta University Funeral Home for preservation, awaiting a postmortem examination. At the crime scene, investigators recovered the murder weapon, a bloodstained spearhead, which has been secured as exhibit. Following this, a manhunt was launched for the suspect, 59-year-old Charles Maina Karungae Kibue, who fled the scene immediately after the attack. Thanks to forensic leads, officers trailed and arrested him at a hideout in Kayole. Kibue is now in custody, undergoing processing pending arraignment. #FichuaKwaDCI.

The child was reported missing at Mwariki Police Station on June 11, 2026. As the family desperately searched for their child, the suspect is alleged to have compounded their anguish by attempting to negotiate a ransom. Acting swiftly on intelligence leads, detectives from the Anti-Human Trafficking and Child Protection Unit (AHTCPU), working jointly with the Crime Research and Intelligence Bureau (CRIB) at DCI Headquarters and Officers from Mwariki Police Station, trailed the suspect to a plot in Quarry area of Rongai. However, upon noticing the detectives closing in on him, the suspect fled into nearby slums and has since remained at large. A search of the room where he had spent the night led to the recovery of a mobile phone, personal belongings, and a mother-and-child clinic booklet bearing the particulars of another minor from Nakuru County, raising more questions about the suspect’s activities.

𝗗𝗖𝗜 𝗘𝗤𝗨𝗜𝗣𝗦 𝗗𝗘𝗧𝗘𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗩𝗘𝗦 𝗧𝗢 𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗜𝗟 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗗𝗜𝗦𝗥𝗨𝗣𝗧 𝗜𝗟𝗟𝗜𝗖𝗜𝗧 𝗖𝗔𝗦𝗛 𝗙𝗟𝗢𝗪𝗦 The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has today concluded an Anti-Money Laundering Training session at the National Criminal Investigations Academy (NCIA), reinforcing Kenya’s commitment to detecting, investigating, and disrupting complex financial crimes that threaten the integrity of our national economy. Bringing together DCI officers from the Capital Markets Authority (CMA), Banking Fraud Investigation Unit (BFIU), Insurance Fraud Investigation Unit (IFIU), Anti-Narcotics Unit (ANU), among others, this comprehensive training equipped them with advanced skills in financial investigations, asset tracing, intelligence analysis, and the disruption of illicit financial networks. Participants enhanced their ability to gather and analyse financial evidence, improve inter-agency collaboration, and support the effective prosecution of offenders involved in financial crimes. Money laundering allows criminal enterprises to conceal proceeds from corruption, fraud, drug trafficking, terrorism financing, and other serious offences, undermining institutions, eroding public trust, and jeopardising Kenya’s reputation in the international financial community. Therefore, strengthening the capacity of investigators to trace financial transactions is not just an institutional priority; it is a national imperative. During the closing ceremony, NCIA Commandant Mr. Ibrahim Jillo, representing the Director of Criminal Investigations, urged participants to diligently apply the knowledge and skills they have acquired. He emphasised the importance of upholding the highest standards of professionalism and integrity and encouraged them to become champions of excellence in the fight against financial crime. Additionally, he urged participants to actively support Kenya’s efforts to achieve international anti-money laundering standards. Through continuous investment in specialised training and inter-agency collaboration, the DCI is playing a key role in strengthening Kenya's anti-money laundering framework, supporting compliance with global financial standards, and advancing national efforts to secure the country's removal from the FATF grey list while protecting the integrity of its financial system.

𝗧𝗛𝗥𝗘𝗘 𝗔𝗥𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗗 𝗜𝗡 𝗦𝗛𝟮𝟮.𝟰 𝗠𝗜𝗟𝗟𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗦𝗔𝗖𝗖𝗢 𝗛𝗘𝗜𝗦𝗧 Detectives from Imenti North have arrested three individuals implicated in a fraud scheme that siphoned off more than Sh22.4 million from a savings and credit cooperative society (SACCO). The investigation uncovered a complex fraud network, where the criminals wielded technology as their weapon, manipulating the SACCO’s computerised financial systems to enrich themselves at the expense of hardworking members. At the centre of this scandal is Allan Karani, the SACCO’s ICT Assistant Officer, who allegedly masterminded this audacious crime. Further inquiries revealed that accounts linked to Tony Mwenda, Sharon Kendi, Brivin Dentel, and Mawingu Plus Ltd served as conduits for receiving and withdrawing the stolen funds. The first breakthrough of the case came on June 4, 2026, when Tony Mwenda was apprehended, with authorities securing custodial orders to aid their relentless pursuit of justice. Yesterday, June 10, 2026, detectives executed a well-planned operation, leading to the arrest of Allan Karani, Betty Kanana, and Sharon Kendi. During the operation, officers seized several mobile phones and a company laptop, all earmarked for forensic analysis to unravel the full extent of this elaborate scheme. What 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's electronic systems to orchestrate their fraud. Currently in custody and awaiting arraignment, these three individuals could be just the tip of the iceberg, as investigations continue to unearth additional perpetrators in this shocking betrayal of trust. Detectives remain committed to safeguarding the interests of the community and ensuring that those who are responsible face the full force of the law. #FichuaKwaDCI.

𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗚𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗡𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗖𝗔𝗣𝗔𝗖𝗜𝗧𝗬 𝗜𝗡 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗙𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧 𝗔𝗚𝗔𝗜𝗡𝗦𝗧 𝗡𝗔𝗥𝗖𝗢𝗧𝗜𝗖𝗦 𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗙𝗙𝗜𝗖𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚 The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has launched the Basic Anti-Narcotics Course at the National Criminal Investigations Academy (NCIA), reaffirming its commitment to strengthening the fight against narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances through professional training and capacity building. The course was officially opened by Mr. Francis Ndiema, SAIG, Director of Investigations Bureau, on behalf of the Director of Criminal Investigations, Mr. Mohamed I. Amin. He congratulated the participating officers and emphasised the critical role they play in protecting communities from the devastating effects of illicit drugs. Mr. Ndiema noted that narcotics-related crimes are becoming increasingly sophisticated, with criminal networks exploiting technology, transportation systems, and financial channels to advance their illegal activities. He stressed the need for a highly skilled and adaptable workforce capable of effectively responding to these evolving threats. The programme will equip participants with practical skills in intelligence-led investigations, surveillance, drug identification, evidence management, financial investigations, and inter-agency collaboration. Reaffirming the DCI’s commitment to operational excellence, Mr. Ndiema encouraged the officers to embrace the training with discipline and dedication. The course is expected to enhance the country’s capacity to combat drug trafficking and dismantle criminal networks, contributing to a safer and more secure Kenya.

𝗙𝗢𝗥𝗠𝗘𝗥 𝗠𝗣 𝗡𝗔𝗕𝗕𝗘𝗗 𝗜𝗡 𝗦𝗛𝟱𝟲𝗠 𝗟𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗙𝗥𝗔𝗨𝗗 𝗦𝗖𝗔𝗡𝗗𝗔𝗟 Detectives from the DCI Headquarters' Land Fraud Investigations Unit (LFIU) have apprehended Josphat Gichuge Mwirabua, aka Kabeabea, a former Member of Parliament for Tigania East and ex-Chairman of the Anti-Counterfeit Authority (ACA), for duping unsuspecting land buyers out of over Sh56 million. The scandal first came to light when a complainant revealed that in 2016, he and several other investors purchased plots measuring 50 by 100 feet from Diamond Property Merchants (DPM) Ltd. Each investor entered into individual agreements with DPM Ltd and made their payments directly to the company's bank accounts. In total, these innocent purchasers deposited approximately Sh16,476,950 into accounts belonging to the suspect. However, they soon discovered that the parcel of land in Kajiado where their plots were supposedly located had been transferred to other individuals without their knowledge, and subdivision was conducted without their consent. This shocking revelation prompted the victims to report the case for investigation. Following a thorough investigation, the findings were compiled and sent to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP). Upon review, the DPP agreed with the investigators' recommendations to charge the suspect with the offence of Obtaining Money by False Pretences. In a separate case involving the same suspect, complainants reported that the accused, being a Director of Diamond Property Merchants Company Ltd, whose offices were located along Kimathi Street, Nairobi, advertised that the company was selling parcels of land in Kajiado that were to be equipped with greenhouses. The complainants paid various amounts totalling Sh40,140,000. Unfortunately, the promised title deeds were never transferred, nor were the greenhouses installed. As investigations progressed, the DPP approved charges against the suspect. When summoned to appear in court, he defied the summons, prompting the Chief Magistrate's Court in Kajiado to issue a warrant for his arrest. Acting on the warrant, detectives swiftly trailed and arrested the suspect today. He is currently in custody, undergoing processing and is expected to be arraigned before the Milimani Law Courts before being escorted to the Kajiado Law Courts, where a warrant for his arrest remains in force. This case underscores the need for vigilance in land transactions, serving as a stark reminder to all Kenyans to be cautious when investing in property. #FichuaKwaDCI Call 0800 722 203 (toll-free) or WhatsApp 0709 570 000 to report anonymously.
