Detectives from the DCI Headquarters’ Land Fraud Investigations Unit (LFIU) have arrested a couple implicated in an elaborate land fraud scheme.

The investigation began after a complainant reported fraudulent activities affecting his legally owned property, which spans approximately 8.35 acres along Old Mombasa Road.

As the investigation unfolded, it became clear that a company named Daimler Enterprises Limited was laying claim to the same parcel of land. However, thorough investigations confirmed that the property is legitimately registered in the complainant's name, a finding corroborated by the Ministry of Lands.

Further scrutiny revealed that Daimler Enterprises Limited's claim was built on a falsified grant and a forged title deed, indicating a calculated attempt to defraud.

Upon completion of the investigation, the case file was submitted to the Office of the Director of Public Prosecution (ODPP), which directed that the suspects, who are the Directors of Daimler Enterprises Limited, John Mugo Njeru and Irima Mugo, be charged with several offences, including conspiracy to defraud, uttering a false document, and obtaining registration by false pretences, among others.

Today, the two suspects were arrested and are currently in custody, undergoing processing in preparation for their arraignment.

The Directorate of Criminal Investigations remains unwavering in its resolve to safeguard property rights and dismantle land fraud networks across the country. Individuals who forge documents, manipulate land records, or attempt to unlawfully dispossess legitimate property owners will be relentlessly pursued and brought to justice.
