September 26, 2019
Stephen Mark Oduk, the owner of Plan 254 club in Nairobi's Kilimani area, was arrested by DCI officers on suspicion of being involved in a Ksh100 million fake dollar scam.
During the early morning raid, the police recovered 147 bars of fake gold and other equipment believed to have been used to make the fake currency.
Oduk is no stranger to the courts, having previously been arrested for kidnapping two children of Indian origin and for being involved in a fake dollar scam.
He has a reputation for flaunting his wealth and has been featured in top entertainment sites. In September 2016, he held a lavish bash for his fiancée at a high-end club, where he reportedly spent Sh 2.5 million.
