Three suspects arrested for over Ksh.7M fraud hotel scheme

DCI reported that they acted jointly with other suspects and made false representations to the complainant.

Three suspects have been arrested over a Ksh.7.98 million fraud scheme through fake hotel reservations travel arrangements and related payments.

According to Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI), Purvis Gaitho Maina, Agnes Seyian Mejooli and Davies Ochami Matasa acted jointly with other suspects and made false representations to the complainant.

Investigations done after their arrest on November 13, 2026 in Voi town showed that they tricked the complainant to pay the money on different dates to access the services.

The trio’s arrest follows that of Pascal Omondi Onyango, who had earlier been apprehended and arraigned before the Milimani Law Courts in connection with the same case.

The three suspects with the co accused have since been booked at Kilimani Police Station and are expected to be arraigned before the Milimani Law Courts.
