The long arm of the law has finally caught up with a suspect accused of orchestrating an elaborate employment scam that fleeced desperate job seekers of more than Sh8.6 million through fake promises of securing government jobs.

The suspect, Derrick Fanuel Oduor, allegedly received Sh8,621,141 from unsuspecting victims after convincing them he could secure employment in the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF), the National Police Service (NPS) and the Public Service Commission (PSC).

The arrest follows investigations launched by detectives from DCI Samburu North after reports were filed at Baragoi Police Station. The probe identified Oduor as a key suspect in the fraudulent scheme.

After allegedly going into hiding and ignoring police summons, the suspect’s luck finally ran out when detectives tracked him down to his hideout in Nairobi, arrested him and escorted him to Samburu to face the law.

The operation also led to the recovery of two motor vehicles believed to be proceeds of crime: Toyota Axio registration KCW 432B and Toyota Mark X registration KCY 640U.

The vehicles have since been detained as exhibits as investigations continue.

The suspect was arraigned before the Maralal Law Courts on 3 July 2026, where detectives secured 10 days’ custodial orders to conclude investigations.

He remains in lawful custody and is expected back in court on 13 July 2026.
