DCI detectives arrest five suspects behind fake recruitment drive for overseas job offers.
Five suspects are being held by detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) ahead of their arraignment after they were arrested in connection to a fraudulent job recruitment drive.
According to the DCI, the suspects had courted about 1,000 job seekers whom they promised opportunities outside the country.
The country’s top investigative body identified them as Nick Van Opstal, a foreigner, Samuel Marigi, Patrick Wangai, Susan Oluoch, and Christine Muthoni Wangechi.
The Nairobi Regional Headquarters detectives started pursuing them after getting a tip-off from members of the public.
They were running two agencies, namely; Alhanawa Jobs and Supply Link Ventures Ltd.
The recruits had gathered at the KCB sports club grounds when the sleuths showed up.

“Following the swift response by the detectives, approximately 1000 jobseekers were snatched from the fangs of the snake oil merchants whose sole mission was to fleece them off their hard-earned cash,” the DCI said.
The detectives established that the National Employment Authority had flagged the two agencies as fraudulent.
A pursuit for other suspects who escaped arrest was immediately launched.
The DCI counseled Kenyans against scandalous firms coming up to fleece the desperate population seeking jobs.
