DCI detectives on Friday arrested the main suspect behind a fake jobs racket.
He has been defrauding jobseekers their hard earned money by promising non-existent jobs at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.
Bonface Ouko, the mastermind behind the scam, was lured to a trap aid by JKIA based detectives last evening before being arrested.
DCI in a statement said that prior to his arrest, the 29-year-old suspect had presented a fake letter of offer to a detective posing as a jobseeker.
"The detective had been offered a financial analyst position, in the offer letter purported to have been issued by Eurocraft Agencies, a ground handling company at the country’s aviation hub," DCI stated.
To conceal his true identity, Ouko had adopted a fake name, Peter Kamuri and developed a fake Eurocraft security pass bearing the name.
DCI revealed that Ouko would charge his victims various kinds of fees, before offering them the fake letters of offer.
They included medical fees, security pass fee, interview fee and uniform fee among others.
The suspect is currently being held at JKIA police station awaiting to be arraignment in court on Monday.
DCI urged anyone who has fallen victim to Ouko’s machinations to visit the DCI offices based at JKIA and file a report.
