DCI SEEKS WANTED SUSPECT IN MULTI-MILLION CAR IMPORT FRAUD CASE
The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) is actively pursuing Timothy Njeru Wanjuki, whose photograph appears below, the director and sole shareholder of East Africa Motors Limited, in connection with multiple fraud cases involving Obtaining Money by False Pretences.
The suspect allegedly targeted foreign nationals, including United Nations personnel based in Nairobi, by promising to import motor vehicles, promises that were either never fulfilled or only partially honoured after victims incurred significant additional costs.
Evidence shows that victims paid substantial sums, totalling tens of thousands of US dollars, directly into accounts controlled by the suspect.
While some vehicles were eventually imported, payments to Japanese suppliers were often incomplete, leading to delays, extra charges, storage fees, and other financial losses for clients. In several cases, complainants received no vehicles at all.
Investigations further revealed that the company's physical offices had been closed, with operations shifted online.
In response to DCI action, the East Africa Motors Limited website was taken down to prevent further engagements, and the company's registration has since been cancelled.
Efforts to locate and arrest Timothy Njeru Wanjuki remain ongoing, with support from other investigative units.
The DCI strongly cautions the public against conducting any business transactions with Timothy Njeru Wanjuki or any entities associated with him.
Anyone with a pending complaint, unresolved case, or relevant information related to this suspect is urged to report immediately to the DCI’s Serious Crime Unit.
Members of the public with information that could assist in locating and apprehending the suspect are encouraged to share it confidentially via the Fichua Kwa DCI toll-free hotline: 0800 722 203 or WhatsApp at 0709 570 000.
The DCI remains committed to protecting citizens and residents from fraudulent schemes and ensuring justice for victims.
