A Nairobi man has been arrested for allegedly spending more than Ksh.6.7 million that was mistakenly deposited into his bank account in a payment processing error.
Dickson Yiaile Sitei was arrested on Saturday, October 24, 2026, by detectives from the Banking Fraud Investigation Unit (BFIU) along Lantana Road in Westlands, Nairobi, following investigations into the disputed funds.
The money was mistakenly credited to Sitei’s account on November 18, 2025, when a company was processing 74 electronic payments. Among the transactions was a legitimate Ksh.72,000 rent payment owed to Sitei for the company’s Suswa shop.
