Detectives from the Land Fraud Investigation Unit (LFIU) have apprehended Mary Muthoni Njogu and her daughter Veronica Wambui Ng’ang’a, who stands accused of orchestrating a multi-million-shilling land fraud scheme involving family property.

The investigation was prompted by a complaint lodged by a family member acting on behalf of his siblings, alleging that the two suspects had deceitfully transferred valuable parcels of family land in Karatina, estimated at approximately Sh40 million, into their own names and those of associated companies.

Through meticulous investigations, it was uncovered that the suspects executed secret transfers from 2020 to 2023, deliberately excluding other family members from the transactions.

Upon conclusion of the investigation, the case file was submitted to the Office of the Director of Public Prosecution (ODPP), which, upon review, directed that the suspects be charged with Conspiracy to Defraud and Fraudulent Procurement of Title.

As a result, the mother and daughter were arrested yesterday, August 18, 2026, and are set to be arraigned at the Karatina Law Courts today, August 19, 2026.

About

The establishment, development and growth of Criminal Investigations Department can be traced to the evolvement of the Kenya Police to which it remains one of the key formations. The first police officers were recruited in 1887 by the Imperial British East Africa Company, I.B.E.A. to provide security for stores in Mombasa. It was from these humble beginnings that the Kenya Police was born.
