Rodgers Obure Omwamba
A senior DCI officer has told this publication that Dr. Martin Mwai, Rodgers Obure Omwamba, businessman Mohamed Bashir Ibrahim, and Kenyan lawyer Stephen Juma Ndeda are being investigated over an alleged fraud that saw a businessman lose $195,000 in a fake military tender.
“Yes, a complaint was made, and we are slowly but gradually looking into the matter; once we are done, we shall bring all the suspects to book,” said a Nairobi-based DCI who wanted to remain unanimous.
He revealed to this publication that the said fraud involved world-class impersonation that saw the fraudsters posing as senior government and military officers.
“We are investigating a very complex case. A case that saw a high-level impersonation of government officials, military officers, and legal representatives. So far we have gotten some tips on the matter,” he added.
In the case, an innocent Dubai-based businessman was tricked into accepting the promise of a $372 million tender for Kenyan electronic voting machines. Key Politician’s names, including the former Premier and his then Handshake brothers, were widely mentioned by the fraudsters to create hope for the victims.
Reliable sources revealed that the fraud scheme, which was well orchestrated, saw sensitive documents forged and submitted in the said fraud-organized meetings.
The fraudsters then, after luring the businessman, demanded that he pay some upfront for the said tender as it was part of the deal.
Here is a quick list of the said fraudsters and why the key suspects are in hot soup.
Mohamed Bashir Ibrahim pretended to be the key facilitator.
Dr. Martin Mwai said that he was a close aide of high-ranking officials.
Brigadier General Daniel Otieno Odieki claimed to be a senior military officer.
Rodgers Obure Omwamba—this man acted as a key contact in Dubai.
Ndeda & Company Advocates oversaw those deadly deals. He administered oaths and confirmed the fraud schemes. Ndeda is not new to fraud-related cases.
