Four suspected con men arrested over fake Sh65 million tender
Police have arrested four people who are suspected to be behind a conning scheme that has duped many Kenyans into parting with millions of shillings for government tenders.
The four were arrested on Saturday after presenting fake documents to a complainant whom they had promised to award a tender worth Sh65 million to construct an administration block for a school in Sultan Hamud.
The four have been identified as Zacharia Joel Owuor who resides in Komarock, Edward Mutuku Nzioka from Uthiru, Geroge Obeli Kasasi from Kayole and Moses Igatia Ikiugu from Uthiru.
