On April 17, 2020, businessman Mohammed Ibrein Sahe transferred Sh1 million to Lee Evans Oluoch's bank account in KCB, following an agreement to purchase a plot in Nairobi's Chokaa area for Sh1.2 million.
However, Sahe later discovered that Oluoch had allegedly deceived him, claiming he had previously put up a perimeter wall on the plot.
After Sahe handed Oluoch Sh200,000 as clearance for the balance, he was thrown out of the plot by another man who claimed ownership.
Inspector Fredrick Barasa Okello of the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) Kayole offices obtained an affidavit, which stated that Oluoch allegedly declined to pick Sahe's calls until DCI officers from Kayole traced and arrested him.
He is being investigated for obtaining cash by false pretences and is currently being held at Kayole DCI offices until June 8, 2020.
