College Exposed for Defrauding Students Over Ksh 70 million

The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has revealed the activities of a fraudulent college that has been reported to have stolen up to Ksh 70 million from Kenyans.

The Directorate of Criminal Investigations reported receiving a large number of complaints from the students at the school reported to be on Nairobi’s Mfangano Road at Hakati House. The police claim that complaints began to pour in in September, which is what prompted them to launch their investigations. Obtaining Money by False Pretext is one of the charges the college is up against.
