Three Nigerians Arrested In Kenya For Cybercrime

By Micheal Chukwuebuka

LAW enforcement agents in Kenya have reportedly arrested three Nigerians for allegedly residing in the country illegally and engaging in cyber-related crimes.

The suspects, identified as Peter Chukwujekwu, Alazor Chukulute Sunday, and Nnalue Chiagozie Samwel, were arrested during a multi-agency raid at Mwaliko Estate in Mwea town, following reports of suspicious activities in their apartment.

The suspects were flushed out after neighbors raised an alarm over suspicious movements and late-night activities inside a rented apartment.

“When detectives raided the premises, they found 21 mobile phones, 79 SIM cards, a Dell laptop, and a heap of credit cards from different banks, all pointing to a well-oiled fraud network,” the police said.

Investigations further revealed that the trio had overstayed their entry permits and possessed no valid work documents to justify their stay in the country.

They will be charged to court after investigations.
